About this worksheet

What students practice

  • Students measure differences between centers in units of a shared MAD or IQR.
  • Students use relative separation and data displays to judge overlap between distributions.
  • Students distinguish overlap of intervals from claims about individual observations.

How to use

Use after teaching MAD and IQR. Have students annotate the box plots and show their gap-divided-by-spread calculations before discussing the final claim.

Curriculum

Common Core standard covered

7.SP.B.3

Judge how much two data sets with similar spread overlap, measuring the gap between their centers in units of that spread.

School Roof Solar: Compare the Output

Use centers and spreads to judge how much energy-output distributions overlap.

Read the Roof Records

The school records daily solar energy in kilowatt-hours (kWh). Use the box plots for Questions 1–4. IQR = third quartile − first quartile.

Which statement correctly describes the spreads of these records?
  • A. Both IQRs are 8 kWh, and both ranges are 16 kWh.
  • B. The clear-day range is 6 kWh greater than the hazy-day range.
  • C. The clear-day IQR is 6 kWh greater than the hazy-day IQR.
  • D. Both IQRs are 16 kWh, and both ranges are 8 kWh.
