Comparing Two Data Sets: Sample FAST Questions

Given two numerical or graphical representations of data, students use measures of center and variability to make comparisons, interpret results, and draw conclusions about the two populations. Displays are limited to histograms, line plots, box plots, and stem-and-leaf plots.

How the FAST tests this benchmark

On the FAST, students read two displays side by side and answer multiple choice items about which group scored higher typically or which group was more consistent. The trap is answering with a center when the question asked about spread, or the reverse.

Skills students need

Compare two data sets shown as box plots
Compare two data sets shown as histograms, line plots, or stem-and-leaf plots
Use measures of center to compare typical values
Use range and interquartile range to compare consistency

Question 5HardMatching

Match each pair of data sets to the comparison it BEST supports.

Pick one match in each row, then check.

	A.A is centered higher; equally consistent	B.A has a tighter IQR (smaller middle 50%)	C.B has an extreme value that stretches its range
A and B share median $50$ ; A has IQR $8$ , B has IQR $18$
A has median $60$ , B has median $45$ ; both have IQR $10$
A and B share median $40$ ; A has range $10$ , B has range $40$
