DAT-2.A.2 Data provide opportunities for identifying trends, making connections, and addressing problems.
DAT-2.A.3 Digitally processed data may show correlation between variables. A correlation found in data does not necessarily indicate that a causal relationship exists. Additional research is needed to understand the exact nature of the relationship.
