​6.NR.2.1 Describe and interpret the center of the distribution by the equal share value (mean).

 • 6.NR.2.2 Summarize categorical and quantitative (numerical) data sets in relation to the context: display the distributions of quantitative (numerical) data in plots on a number line, including dot plots, histograms, and box plots and display the distribution of categorical data using bar graphs.

6.NR.2.3 Interpret numerical data to answer a statistical investigative question created. Describe the distribution of a quantitative (numerical) variable collected, including its center, variability, and overall shape. • 6.NR.2.4 Design simple experiments and collect data. Use data gathered from realistic scenarios and simulations to determine quantitative measures of center (median and/or mean) and variability (interquartile range and range). Use these quantities to draw conclusions about the data, compare different numerical data sets, and make predictions.

Multiple Choice

Below is a data set of the length of times, in seconds, that it took for nine boys to find Waldo. 10 7 29 8 13 12 13 11 8 Which of the following is the median when the numbers are written in order?

• 10

• 11

• 12

• 13

Multiple Choice

About what part of the values in a data set are BELOW the median? How do you know this?

• About half of the values are below the median, because the median divides the data set into two equal parts.

• All of the values are below the median, because the median is the highest value.

• None of the values are below the median, because the median is the lowest value.

• About one quarter of the values are below the median, because the median divides the data set into four parts.

Multiple Choice

About what percent of values in a data set are ABOVE the median? How do you know this?

• About 50% of values are above the median because the median divides the data set into two equal halves.

• About 25% of values are above the median because the median is the lower quartile.

• About 75% of values are above the median because the median is the upper quartile.

• About 100% of values are above the median because the median is the highest value.

Multiple Choice

e. The IQR using the values given above is:

• 12

• 8

• 15

Multiple Choice

The IQR is important when describing data because it shows where ½ of the data lies. Why is it important to know this?

• It helps identify the spread of the middle 50% of the data, reducing the effect of outliers.

• It shows the exact mean of the data set.

• It only measures the highest and lowest values.

• It ignores the distribution of the data.
