  2. Judge the validity of claims related to school discipline using ratios and percentages.

  3. Explain the meaning of a probability statement and its connections to school discipline.

  4. Articulate if two related events are mutually exclusive and apply this skill to make judgments about the school-to-prison pipeline.
