(A) Compare two groups of numeric data using comparative dot plots or box plots by comparing their shapes, centers, and spreads

(Y9) Compare data displays using mean, median and range to describe and interpret numerical data sets in terms of location (centre) and spread (ACMSP283)

(Y10) Construct and interpret box plots and use them to compare data sets (ACMSP249)

(Y10A) Calculate and interpret the mean and standard deviation of data and use these to compare data sets (ACMSP278)

(Y11-12) Compare back-to-back stem plots for different datasets (ACMEM057)

HSS.IDA.2 Use statistics appropriate to the shape of the data distribution to compare center (median, mean) and spread (interquartile range, standard deviation) of two or more different data sets.
