Ready, Steady, Go!
The focus of this lesson is on comparing two samples and making an inference about
populations from samples. Students’ previous work on boxplots and work on sampling ideas are combined in this
activity.
Sample Data

Sample: Year 5 students (n = 20) and Year 10 students (n = 20).
Show side by side data points, box-whisker for each sample.
