8.05 Comparative inferences

Lesson

Outcomes

7.SP.B.3

Informally compare the measures of center (mean, median, mode) of two numerical data distributions with similar variabilities. For example, the mean height of players on the basketball team is 10 cm greater than the mean height of players on the soccer team; on a dot plot or box plot, the separation between the two distributions of heights is noticeable.

7.SP.B.4

Use measures of center and measures of variability for numerical data from random samples to draw informal comparative inferences about two populations. For example, decide whether the words in a chapter of a 7th grade science book are generally longer than the words in a chapter of a 4th grade science book.
