Cereal Box Problem6.SP - Develop understanding of statistical variability.
3. Recognize that a measure of center for a numerical data set summarizes all of its values with a single number, while a measure of variation describes how its values vary with a single number.
4. Display numerical data in plots on a number line, including dot plots, histograms, and box plots.
Cereal Box ProblemThe box plot below represents the grams of sugar per serving in 15 boxes of cereal. Mean grams of sugar per serving is 14, and mode grams of sugar per serving is 18. What is a possible data set? Explain your choice.
