Description
This resource contains a 10 question, multiple choice quiz in two formats:
1) Printable PDF
2) Option for Google Forms (link provided on first page of PDF download)
Please Note: This quiz requires students to not only visually compare the similarity between data, but to also calculate the degree of visual overlap by "measuring the difference between the centers by expressing it as a multiple of a measure of variability." (See the standard requirements of SP.B.3 below). If your students are NOT familiar with this skill but you would like them to be, check out this instructional resource from The Math Cafe:
Comparing Overlapping Data NOTES & PRACTICE
This resource was developed to meet the requirements of the 7th grade math Statistics & Probability standards:
Draw informal comparative inferences about two populations.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.7.SP.B.3 Informally assess the degree of visual overlap of two numerical data distributions with similar variabilities, measuring the difference between the centers by expressing it as a multiple of a measure of variability. 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, about twice the variability (mean absolute deviation) on either team; on a dot plot, the separation between the two distributions of heights is noticeable.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.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 seventh-grade science book are generally longer than the words in a chapter of a fourth-grade science book.
