Did You Know?
Earthquakes are caused by the sudden release of energy in the Earth’s crust when friction between tectonic plates causes rocks to break along fault lines.
RING OF FIRE
PACIFIC OCEAN
Nearly 80% of Earth’s largest earthquakes occur along the “Ring of Fire.”
Many tectonic plates meet in this horseshoeshaped region around the Pacific Ocean.
The shape of a pagoda is known for resisting damage from earthquakes.
Your Task: Shake It Up
Engineers design sturdy bridges, buildings, dams and other structures that can withstand earthquakes. They also devise detection devices to predict earthquakes. You and your classmates will gather and display data about earthquake frequency and magnitude. You will analyze the data and determine what constraints engineers must consider when designing roadways, bridges, homes, and other structures.

the numerical data sets are easier to display using a histogram instead of a dot plot in a frequency table.
Explanation:
In the above-given question,
given that,
bags of popcorn are sold each day.
the data is 62, 65, 58, 31, 64, 58, 66, 68, 56, 67, 68, 51.
we can organize the data in a frequency table.
so the numerical data sets are easier to display using a histogram instead of a dot plot in a frequency table.

Question 6.
Complete the frequency table below for the number of songs stored on phones.
Answer:
The missing frequency is 5, 7, 2, 0.
Explanation:
In the above-given question,
given that,
the number of songs on the phones.
the data is 125, 289, 115, 203, 192, 178, 256, 248, 165, 233, 147, 209, 225, 184, 156, 201, 143, 125, 263, 210.
the song range from 100 – 149 = 5.
range from 150 – 199 = 5.
range from 200 – 249 = 7.
range from 250 – 299 = 2.
range from 300 – 349 = 0.

so the number of people has between 150 and 199 is 5.
Question 9.
Do more than half of the phones have fewer than 149 songs stored on them?
Answer:
Yes, more than half of the phones have fewer than 149 songs stored on them.
Explanation:
In the above-given question,
given that,
the number of songs on the phones.

the song range from 100 – 149 = 5.
range from 150 – 199 = 5.
range from 200 – 249 = 7.
range from 250 – 299 = 2.
range from 300 – 349 = 0.
the number of songs stored on them = 19.
so more than half of the phones have fewer than 149 songs stored on them.
Question 10.
Is the greatest number of songs stored on phones between 200 and 249 songs?
Answer:
Yes, the greatest number of songs stored on phones is between 200 and 249 songs = 7.

the song range from 100 – 149 = 5.
range from 150 – 199 = 5.
range from 200 – 249 = 7.
range from 250 – 299 = 2.
range from 300 – 349 = 0.
so the greatest number of songs stored on phones is between 200 and 249 songs = 7.

KEY CONCEPT
The mean absolute deviation and the interquartile range each use a single number to describe the variability, or spread, of a data set. The mean absolute deviation (MAD) tells you how far the data are spread out from the mean. The interquartile range (IQR) tells you how far the middle of the data is spread out from the median.

Try It!
Suppose the French teacher says that she will drop each student’s lowest quiz score. Would the MAD now be a good measure of variability for John’s quiz scores? Calculate the MAD without John’s lowest score and use it to justify your answer.
John’s lowest score is ______.
Without the lowest score, John’s mean score is _______.
Answer:
MAD = 5.
Explanation:
In the above-given question,
given that,
I am assuming the data is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.
MAD = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9/9.
MAD = 45/9.
MAD = 5.
KEY CONCEPT
The statistical measure that is most appropriate to describe the center and variability of a data set should be chosen based on an analysis of the spread, clustering, and outliers in the data set.
The mean is a good choice to describe the center of a data together.
When the mean is used, the mean absolute deviation (MAD) is a good choice to describe the variability.
The median is a good choice to describe the center of a data set set when the data are clustered when the data contain an outlier.
When the median is used, the interquartile range (IQR) is a good choice to describe the variability.
The mode is sometimes a good choice to describe the center of a data set if the data is not numeric or does not fall in intervals.

Question 1.
Essential Question Why is one statistical measure more useful than another to describe a given situation?
Answer:
The statistical measure that is most appropriate to describe the center and variability of a data set should be chosen based on an analysis of the spread, clustering, and outliers in the data set.
Explanation:
In the above-given question,
given that,
The mean is a good choice to describe the center of a data together.
When the mean is used, the mean absolute deviation (MAD) is a good choice to describe the variability.
The median is a good choice to describe the center of a data set set when the data are clustered when the data contain an outlier.
When the median is used, the interquartile range (IQR) is a good choice to describe the variability.
Question 2.
Reasoning You cannot find a good measure of center for a data set. What is probably true of the data set?
Answer:
Yes, we cannot find a good measure of center for a data set.
Explanation:
In the above-given question,
given that,
The mean is a good choice to describe the center of a data together.
When the mean is used, the mean absolute deviation (MAD) is a good choice to describe the variability.
The median is a good choice to describe the center of a data set set when the data are clustered when the data contain an outlier.
When the median is used, the interquartile range (IQR) is a good choice to describe the variability.

Lesson 8.3 Display Data in Box Plots
Quick Review
Quartiles divide a data set into four equal groups. A box plot uses the minimum, first quartile, median, third quartile, and maximum values in a data set to show how the data are distributed.
Example

Lesson 8.4 Display Data in Frequency Tables and Histograms
Quick Review
A frequency table shows the number of times a data value or a range of data values occurs in a data set. A histogram is a graph that uses bars to show the frequency of equal ranges or groups of data.
Example
Organize the ages of the campers listed below in a frequency table.
12, 14, 12, 14, 10, 11, 15, 13, 13, 11, 12, 12, 7, 14, 12
Divide the data into equal intervals and mark the frequency of the data using tally marks. Then write the frequency.
Practice

Lesson 8.5 Summarize Data Using Measures of Variability
Quick Review
The mean absolute deviation (MAD) describes how spread out data values are from the mean. The interquartile range (IQR) describes the difference between the third quartile and the first quartile.
Example
Find the MAD of the data set.
6, 7, 8, 8, 8, 11
Mean = 8
The absolute deviations from the mean are 2, 1, 0, 0, 0, and 3, and their sum is 6.
SO, MAD = \(\frac{6}{6}\) = 1.
Practice
In 1-3, find the mean and the MAD for each data set.

Lessons 8.6 And 8.7 Choose Appropriate Statistical Measures and Summarize Data Distributions
Quick Review
You can summarize data by finding the measure of center and the measure of variability. Use the IQR when the median is an appropriate measure of center, and the MAD when the mean is an appropriate measure of center.
Example
Use statistical measures to summarize the data set shown.
The mean and MAD are good measures to describe this data set.
The mean test score is 78 points. The MAD is 10.4, so most test scores are within 10.4 points of the mean.
Practice
In 1-3, use the data below.
Question 1.
Describe the overall shape of the data. Include any outliers.
Answer:
The number of outliers are 4.
Explanation:
In the above-given question,
given that,
game sales and number sold each week.
64, 68, 72, 76, 80, 84, 88, 92, 96, 100, 104.
there are outliers on 88, 92, 96, 100, 104, 68.
there is gaps from 68 to 88.
so the number of outliers are 4.

Topic 8 Fluency Practice
Riddle Rearranging
Find each sum or difference. Then arrange the answers in order from least to greatest. The letters will spell out the answer to the riddle below.
I can… add and subtract decimals.
What place’s name is only two words long but has hundreds of letters in it?
Answer:
O, P, S, T, O, F, F, I, C, E.
Explanation:
In the above-given question,
given that,
14.56 + 9.471 = 24.031.
33.582 – 2.8 = 30.782.
8.999 + 2.3 = 11.299.
45.74 – 22.08 = 23.66.
1.43 + 12.89 = 14.32.
20.4 – 11.81 = 8.59.
25.35 – 2.5 = 22.85.
2.456 – 7 = -4.544.
7.074 + 12.75 = 19.824.
80 – 66.7 = 13.3.
so from least to greatest = O, P, S, T, O, F, F, I, C, E.
