Draw Conclusion from Data

In an effort to try to convince her mother that she is too old to join the intermediate swim​ class, Mira, who is 13 years​ old, gathers data on the ages of a random sample of members of the current intermediate swim class. The results of the data collected by Mira are displayed in the dot plot shown.

• It is likely that she will be able to convince her mother.​ Mira's age is within the area where the data are clustered.

• It is likely that she will be able to convince her mother.​ Mira's age is to the left of the area where the data are clustered.

• It is unlikely that she will be able to convince her mother.​ Mira's age is within the area where the data are clustered.

• It is unlikely that she will be able to convince her mother.​ Mira's age is to the left of the area where the data are clustered.

The following dot plots show the amount of time it takes each​ person, in a random​ sample, to complete two similar problems. Make a comparative inference about the two problems.

• The problems are equally challenging.

• Problem 2 is more difficult because it took students longer on average.

• Problem 1 is more difficult because it took students longer on average.

The following shows the number of calls two radio shows get each day for a ten day period. The two shows are on at the same time. Make a comparative inference based on the median values.

• Show 1 usually receives more calls.

• Show 2 usually receives more calls.

• The shows usually receive equal numbers of calls.

• There is not enough data to draw an inference.
