Compare two numerical data distributions using measures of center and variability. Example 1: The mean height of players on the basketball team is 10 cm greater than the mean height of players on the soccer team. This difference is equal to approximately twice the variability (mean absolute deviation) on either team. On a line plot, note the difference between the two distributions of heights. Example 2: 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.
