Use unit rate language in the context of a ratio relationship (e.g., “The recipe has a ratio of 3 cups of flour to 4 cups of sugar so there is cup of flour for each cup of sugar.”) b. Solve unit rate problems, for example those involving unit pricing and constant speed (e.g., “If it took 7 hours to mow 4 lawns, then at that rate, how many lawns could be mowed in 35 hours? At what rate were lawns being mowed?”).

Recognize a statistical question as one that anticipates variability in the data related to the question and accounts for it in the answers (e.g., "How old am I?" is not a statistical question, but "How old are the students in my school?" is a statistical question because one anticipates variability in students' ages).

Use the language of probability (e.g., likely, unlikely, certain, impossible) to describe the likelihood of possible outcomes and to anticipate variability in data collected from statistical questions. Explain how the likelihood of outcomes helps predict which responses may be more or less common in the data and justify predictions using probability terms.
