Overview

In this activity, students are given a scenario, a list of 30 data points, and asked to make decisions based on their prior knowledge of descriptive statistics. Students should use a measure of center (mean, median, mode) and a measure of spread (interquartile range, standard deviation) in their explanation. Students may also choose to provide a plot of the sample data (histogram, stem plot, dot plot, etc).
