Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 6.12 Summarize Data with Center, Spread, and Shape skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery
A class uses 73 as the typical value for a data set.
Which measurement is farthest from 73?
A73
B77
C81
D69
Solution & Explanation:Compare each value with 73. 81 is farthest away, so it is the most unusual of the listed values.
Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery
an astronomy researcher has these galaxy pixel intensity measurements (counts): 34, 40, 75, 40, 35, 10, 39, 34, 38, 36, 40, 35, 40, 46.
The data include two extreme measurements. Which measure of center is usually less affected by those extremes than the mean?
Amedian
Brange
Clargest value only
Dsmallest value only
Solution & Explanation:The median uses the middle of the ordered data, so it is less affected by a few very large or very small values.
Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery
For dataset 28 in robotics, battery discharge times (minutes) values were: 58, 69, 56, 59, 63, 74, 74, 73, 58, 56, 76, 76.
Which measure tells how far apart the largest and smallest values are?
Arange
Bmode
Cmedian
Dtitle of the data table
Solution & Explanation:The range is found by subtracting the smallest value from the largest value, so it describes spread in a simple way.
