  1. Jun simulated 10 flips of a fair coin 100 times and plotted the heads in each set of 10. What does one dot stand for?

    • One flip of the coin: heads or tails on that flip
    • One set of 10 flips: its number of heads
    • One head

  2. Kira simulated 30 rolls of a fair number cube 100 times and plotted the sixes in each set of 30. What does one dot stand for?

    • One set of 30 rolls: its number of sixes
    • One six
    • One roll of the number cube: the face that landed up

    Dot plot of 100 chance deals of the 20 results into two groups of 10 (difference in mean growth, plant food − plain water, cm, rounded to the nearest 1): -2: 7, -1: 18, 0: 42, 1: 24, 2: 7, 3: 2.

  4. Luz mixed the growth numbers of 20 bean plants, dealt them at random into two groups of 10 a hundred times, and plotted each difference in means. What does one dot stand for?

    • One random deal: the difference between its two group means
    • One plant's growth
    • The real difference the plant food made to the growth of these bean plants

  5. Milo mixed the flight distances of 24 paper airplanes, dealt them at random into two groups of 12 a hundred times, and plotted each difference in means. What does one dot stand for?

    • The real difference the wing design made
    • One airplane's flight distance
    • One random deal: the difference between its two group means

  6. Noah's coin landed heads 8 times in 10 flips. The plot shows 200 sets of 10 flips of a fair coin. In how many sets were there 8 or more heads?

  7. Pia's number cube showed 8 sixes in 30 rolls. The plot shows 100 sets of 30 rolls of a fair cube. In how many sets were there 8 or more sixes?

  8. Ren's class tested plant food on 20 bean plants, assigned at random. The plant-food group grew 2 cm more on average. In how many chance deals was the difference 2 cm or more?

  9. Ari's 8 long-wing paper airplanes flew 196 feet in all; the 8 short-wing ones flew 172 feet in all. What is the difference in mean flight distance, in feet?

  10. In Bo's ruler-drop test, the 10 students without practice had catch distances of 164 cm in all; the 10 with practice, 131 cm. What is the difference in mean catch distance, in cm?

  11. In Esme's class, 12 students in a quiet room remembered 138 words from a list in all; 12 with music remembered 114. What is the difference in the mean number of words remembered?
