چکیده
INTRODUCTION Statistics is a science of wide and increasing use in the current world, social media and numerous sciences. Consequently, society requires an adequate statistics training for all its citizen, from their educational institutions, that is, statistics for all the citizens (Jacobsen, 1991). There has been a pressing need for the inclusion of statistical contents in the curriculum from elementary educational levels in the last few years in many countries, including, Spain. Statistical contents were not included in Primary Education in the Spanish curriculum until 1992. Statistical contents were only recommended in secondary education, where descriptive statistics was introduced in the seventh year of E.G.B. (Basic General Education, 13 year-old students). There was another unit on statistics and probability in the first year of B.U.P. (secondary education, 15 year-old students) and another unit on probability and correlation in the third year of B.U.P. (17 year-old students). The topic was completed with several units in the last year of secondary education (pre-university education, 18 year-old students). In Spain, a reform of this primary and secondary education has taken place since 1992.
