This literacy "guides decisions in our personal lives and enables us to meet our responsibilities as citizens." (Franklin, et. al., p. 1)

Important areas for statistical literacy include:
- employment demands for budgets, manufacturing, supplies, performance, etc.
- citizenship topics such as understanding the sampling & reliability of opinion polls, community statistics, and government data, etc.
- family choices based on statistical data of food, safety ratings, investments, television programming, & automotive ratings, etc.

In the past 25 years, technology improvements have caused NCTM revisions to statistics education that now include a vital mathematics content strand in Data Analysis & Probability. 

Having the strong educational foundation in data analysis & probability "empowers people by giving them the tools to think for themselves, to ask intelligent questions of experts, and to confront authority confidently." (Franklin et. al., p.3)

- Questioning & answering based on data collection, organization, and displays of data
- Analyzing data through the selection of statistical methods
- Making inferences & predictions based on data and evaluating ideas about them
- Probability understandings & applications related to statistics
- Probability of random outcome frequencies and fair/biased determinations

Natural Variability - variations that result from naturally occurring individual differences

Induced Variability - variations resulting from different environmental/other factors that are not controlled from one sample to another

Sampling Variability - variation that results from differences between sample population to another sample population

Mathematics does not involve variability of data.

At lower levels of statistics education, data collection depends more on context and less on formal mathematics. 

"Statistics education becomes increasingly mathematical as the level of understanding goes up." (Franklin, et. al., p. 9)
