Making Inferences from a Sample of Data

Marvin's grades currently in math are 100, 97, 98, 74, and 85. Gavin's grades currently in math are 98, 100, 88, 91, and 65. Which student has the highest mean score?

• Marvin

• Gavin

Marvin's grades currently in math are 100, 97, 98, 74, and 85. Gavin's grades currently in math are 98, 100, 88, 91, and 65. Find the range of each student's scores and make an inference about their ranges.

Ten fourth-grade girls and ten seventh-grade girls were randomly selected. Their heights, in inches, are recorded below.

4th Grade

56, 47, 54, 51, 53, 58, 48, 54, 46, 53

7th Grade

57, 58, 60, 64, 62, 52, 57, 60, 65, 55

Find the range of both classes heights' and make an inference about them.

In your own words, describe to me how to find an inference from a set of data.

If Mr. Estes looked at the means (averages) for the last SAFE Quiz for his classes, and the averages were 72%, 71%, and 74%, what inference can you make based on those averages?
