Statistical Literacy Developed by Students at the End of the High School

In this article we report the results of research with Mexican students whose objective was to know the degree of development of statistical literacy that they have achieved throughout their basic and upper secondary education. The instrument used is an online questionnaire that has been adapted from various items in the literature and some of our own creation. The results indicate that students have low levels of statistical literacy in graphic representations and descriptive measures, even though they are themes of the curriculum from primary education; the results are even lower for correlation, box plot, decile, and probability items.
