About this worksheet

What students practice

  • Students describe repair-time distributions using center, spread, and overall shape.
  • Students identify clusters, gaps, symmetry, and multiple peaks in distributions.
  • Students explain why center and range alone may not fully describe a distribution.

How to use

Use after introducing histograms and median. Have students refer to each section's display and support their final explanation with counts from the data.

Curriculum
