ResourceSpotlight
Students will be able to create a box plot or histogram. They will find measures of central tendency and identify which best describes the data set. This activity is intended to be a teacher-led discussion, but can be done using the student worksheet.

ResourceSpotlight
Students will compare two distributions. Graphical and numerical representations will be used to draw conclusions. Students will graph histograms side-by-side to make comparisons based on shape, center, and spread. Students will graph box plots on the same axes comparing shape, spread, and the five-number summary.

In this activity, students will be introduced to density curves as a simple analysis of a data set. They also will investigate where the median and mean lie on symmetric or skewed graphs.

ResourceSpotlight
In this activity, students will learn four characteristics of a normal curve: the distribution is symmetric and mound-shaped; the mean and median are approximately equal; the distribution meets the 68-95.5-99.7 rule; and the normal probability plot is linear. They will use these to determine if a data set it normal.
