6.SP.A.2: Understand that a set of data collected to answer a statistical question has a distribution which can be described by its center, spread, and overall shape.
What you'll learn
- Describe a data set using center (where data tends to cluster), spread (how far apart the values are), and overall shape (symmetric, skewed, clustered, spread out)
- Identify the center, spread, and shape informally by looking at a graphical display of data (dot plot or histogram)
- Explain what center, spread, and shape reveal about the real-world context being measured
