Students will create and explore a box plot and histogram for a data set. They then compare the two data displays by viewing them together and use the comparison to draw conclusions about the data.

Students create a box plot or histogram. They will find measures of central tendency and identify which best describes the data set.

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.

Students review one-variable topics such as graphing quantitative variables, calculating measures of central tendency and spread, and making comparisons.
