Informally assess the degree of visual overlap of two numerical data…

Describe data distributions and use probability models to predict outcomes.

What this standard means

  • 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.
  • Apply informally assess the degree of visual overlap of two numerical data… with models and explanation
  • Summarizes data with center and spread measures

How to use the 20 practice sets

| Sets | When to use | | --- | --- | | 1–5 | Intro — explore together, short written items | | 6–10 | Core skills — diagrams and written practice | | 11–15 | Mixed review — explain thinking | | 16–20 | Stretch — word problems and mastery tasks |

Pacing: 10–15 minutes per session.

How to practice

1. Calculate mean, median, and range from data sets 2. Use dot plots and box plots to compare groups 3. List sample space before finding probability

Common mistakes

  • Confusing mean and median
  • Probability greater than 1 or less than 0
  • Ignoring all outcomes in the sample space

Review and practice tests

1. Start Review 1/10 when sets 1–3 feel comfortable. 2. Move up one review level with little help. 3. Use Practice Test 4/10–6/10 for mid-standard checks. 4. Practice Test 10/10 is the mastery bar for 7.SP.B.3.
