Understand that random sampling tends to produce representative samples and support valid inferences.
 * MCC7.SP.2 ** Use data from a random sample to draw inferences about a population with an unknown characteristic of interest. Generate multiple samples (or simulated samples) of the same size to gauge the variation in estimates or predictions
 * Draw informal comparative inferences about two populations. **
 * MCC7.SP.3 ** Informally assess the degree of visual overlap of two numerical data distributions with similar variabilities, measuring the difference between the centers by expressing it as a multiple of a measure of variability.
 * MCC7.SP.4 ** Use measures of center and measures of variability for numerical data from random samples to draw informal comparative inferences about two populations.
 * Investigate chance processes and develop, use, and evaluate probability models. **
 * MCC7.SP.5 ** Understand that the probability of a chance event is a number between 0 and 1 that expresses the likelihood of the event occurring. Larger numbers indicate greater likelihood. A probability near 0 indicates an unlikely event, a probability around ½ indicates an event that is neither unlikely nor likely, and a probability near 1 indicates a likely event.

 * MCC7.SP.8b ** Represent sample spaces for compound events using methods such as organized lists, tables and tree diagrams. For an event described in everyday language (e.g., “rolling double sixes”), identify the outcomes in the sample space which compose the event.
 * MCC7.SP.8c ** Design and use a simulation to generate frequencies for compound events.
 * Draw, construct, and describe geometrical figures and describe the relationships between them. **
 * MCC7.G.1 ** Solve problems involving scale drawings of geometric figures, including computing actual lengths and areas from a scale drawing and reproducing a scale drawing at a different scale.
