Math 7 Unit 4 – Inferences
(4 weeks)
Unit Overview: In this unit, students use data to make inferences about populations. In Grade 6, students build on the knowledge
and experiences in data analysis developed in earlier grades (see K-3 Categorical Data Progression and Grades 2-5 Measurement
Progression). They develop a deeper understanding of variability and more precise descriptions of data distributions, using numerical
measures of center and spread, and terms such as cluster, peak, gap, symmetry, skew, and outlier. They begin to use histograms
and box plots to represent and analyze data distributions. As in earlier grades, students view statistical reasoning as a four-step
investigative process:

Formulate questions that can be answered with data

Design and use a plan to collect relevant data

Analyze the data with appropriate methods

Interpret results and draw valid conclusions from the data that relate to the questions posed.
Such investigations involve making sense of practical problems by turning them into statistical investigations (MP1); moving from
context to abstraction and back to context (MP2); repeating the process of statistical reasoning in a variety of contexts (MP8).
In Grade 7, students move from concentrating on analysis of data to production of data, understanding that good answers to
statistical questions depend upon a good plan for collecting data relevant to the questions of interest. Because statistically sound
data production is based on random sampling, a probabilistic concept, students must develop some knowledge of probability before
launching into sampling. Their introduction to probability is based on seeing probabilities of chance events as long-run relative
frequencies of their occurrence, and many opportunities to develop the connection between theoretical probability models and
empirical probability approximations. This connection forms the basis of statistical inference.
With random sampling as the key to collecting good data, students begin to differentiate between the variability in a sample and the
variability inherent in a statistic computed from a sample when samples are repeatedly selected from the same population. This
understanding of variability allows them to make rational decisions, say, about how different a proportion of “successes” in a sample
is likely to be from the proportion of “successes” in the population or whether medians of samples from two populations provide
convincing evidence that the medians of the two populations also differ.
In grade 7, students’ statistical topics and investigations have dealt with univariate data, e.g., collections of counts or measurements
of one characteristic. These experiences will lay the foundation for them to study the association between two variables in linear
functions in grade 8, extending their understanding of “cluster” and “outlier” from univariate data to bivariate data.
Content Standards:
Use random sampling to draw inferences about a population.
MCC.7.SP.1 Understand that statistics can be used to gain information about a population by examining a sample of the population;

Concept Overview:
MP3 Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.
In this unit, students construct arguments using verbal or written explanations accompanied by graphs, tables, and other data
displays (i.e. box plots, dot plots, histograms, etc.). They further refine their mathematical communication skills through
mathematical discussions in which they critically evaluate their own thinking and the thinking of other students. They pose questions
like, “How did you get that?”, “Why is that true?”, “Does that always work?” They explain their thinking to others and respond to
others’ thinking.
MP5 Use appropriate tools strategically.
Students consider available tools (including estimation and technology) when solving a mathematical problem and decide when
certain tools might be helpful. For instance, students may decide to represent similar data sets using dot plots with the same scale to
visually compare the center and variability of the data. Students might use physical objects or applets to generate probability data
and use graphing calculators or spreadsheets to manage and represent data in different forms.

MCC.7.SP.1 Understand that statistics can be used to gain information about a population by examining a sample of the population;
generalizations about a population from a sample are valid only if the sample is representative of that population. Understand that
random sampling tends to produce representative samples and support valid inferences.

on randomly sampled survey data. Gauge how far off the estimate or prediction might be.
EQ: How can random sampling methods be used to gain information about a population?
Learning Targets:
I can …
 make generalizations from statistical data about a population sample. (SP1)
 explain how a random sample increases the likelihood of obtaining a representative sample of a population. (SP1)
 answer questions related to sample size and validity―for example: How large is a large enough sample size? What makes a
sample valid? (SP1)
 make inferences about a population based on a sample. (SP2)
 make reasonable arguments about whether or not conclusions drawn from a sample are valid. (SP2)
Concept Overview: In earlier grades students have been using data, both categorical and measurement, to answer simple statistical
questions, but have paid little attention to how the data were selected.
 A primary focus for Grade 7 is the process of selecting a random sample, and the value of doing so. If three students are to
be selected from the class for a special project, students recognize that a fair way to make the selection is to put all the
student names in a box, mix them up, and draw out three names “at random.” Individual students realize that they may not
get selected, but that each student has the same chance of being selected. In other words, random sampling is a fair way to
select a subset (a sample) of the set of interest (the population).

A statistic computed from a random sample, such as the mean of the sample, can be used as an estimate of that same
characteristic of the population from which the sample was selected. This estimate must be viewed with some degree of
caution because of the variability in both the population and sample data.

A basic tenet of statistical reasoning, then, is that random sampling allows results from a sample to be generalized to a
much larger body of data, namely, the population from which the sample was selected.
 “What proportion of students in the seventh grade of your school choose football as their favorite sport?” Students realize
that they do not have the time and energy to interview all seventh graders, so the next best way to get an answer is to
select a random sample of seventh graders and interview them on this issue.
 The sample proportion is the best estimate of the population proportion, but students realize that the two are not the same
and a different sample will give a slightly different estimate.
 In short, students realize that conclusions drawn from random samples generalize beyond the sample to the population
from which the sample was selected, but a sample statistic is only an estimate of a corresponding population parameter
and there will be some discrepancy between the two. Understanding variability in sampling allows the investigator to gauge
the expected size of that discrepancy.
The variability in samples can be studied by means of simulation.
 Students are to take a random sample of 50 seventh graders from a large population of seventh graders to estimate the
proportion having football as their favorite sport. Suppose, for the moment, that the true proportion is 60%, or 0.60.
 How much variation can be expected among the sample proportions?
 The scenario of selecting samples from this population can be simulated by constructing a “population” that has 60% red
chips and 40% blue chips, taking a sample of 50 chips from that population, recording the number of red chips, replacing
the sample in the population, and repeating the sampling process. (This can be done by hand or with the aid of technology,
or by a combination of the two.) Record the proportion of red chips in each sample and plot the results.
The dot plots in the margin show results for 200 such random samples of size 50 each. Note that the sample proportions pile up
around 0.60, but it is not too rare to see a sample proportion down around 0.45 or up around .0.75. Thus, we might expect a

*In this transition year, be aware that students may not have mastery with all graph types.
Concept Overview: To estimate a population mean or median, the best practice is to select a random sample from that population
and use the sample mean or median as the estimate, just as with proportions. But, many of the practical problems dealing with
measures of center are comparative in nature, as in comparing average scores on the first and second exam or comparing average
salaries between female and male employees of a firm. Such comparisons may involve making conjectures about population
parameters and constructing arguments based on data to support the conjectures (MP3).
If all measurements in a population are known, no sampling is necessary and data comparisons involve the calculated measures of
center. Even then, students should consider variability. The figures below show the female life expectancies for countries of Africa
and Europe. It is clear that Europe tends to have the higher life expectancies and a much higher median, but some African countries
are comparable to some of those in Europe. The mean and MAD for Africa are 53.6 and 9.5 years, respectively, whereas those for
Europe are 79.3 and 2.8 years. In Africa, it would not be rare to see a country in which female life expectancy is about ten years away
from the mean for the continent, but in Europe the life expectancy in most countries is within three years of the mean.
For random samples, students should understand that medians and means computed from samples will vary from sample to sample
and that making informed decisions based on such sample statistics requires some knowledge of the amount of variation to expect.
Just as for proportions, a good way to gain this knowledge is through simulation, beginning with a population of known structure.
The following examples are based on data compiled from nearly 200 middle school students in the Washington, DC area
participating in the Census at Schools Project. Responses to the question, “How many hours per week do you usually spend on
homework?” from a random sample of 10 female students and another of 10 male students from this population gave the results
plotted in the margin.
Females have a slightly higher median, but students should realize that there is too much variation in the sample data to conclude
that, in this population, females have a higher median homework time. An idea of how much variation to expect in samples of size
10 is needed.
Simulation to the rescue! Students can take multiple samples of size 10 from the Census of Schools data to see how much the
sample medians themselves tend to vary. The sample medians for 100 random samples of size 10 each, with 100 samples of males
and 100 samples of females, is shown in the margin. This plot shows that the sample medians vary much less than the homework
hours themselves and provides more convincing evidence that the female median homework hours is larger than that for males. Half
of the female sample medians are within one hour of 4 while half of the male sample medians are within half hour of 3, although
there is still overlap between the two groups.
A similar analysis based on sample means gave the results seen in the margin. Here, the overlap of the two distributions is more
severe and the evidence weaker for declaring that the females have higher mean study hours than males.
This is the students’ first experience with comparing two data sets. Students build on their understanding of graphs, mean, median,
Mean Absolute Deviation (M.A.D.) and interquartile range from 6th grade. Students understand that
 a full understanding of the data requires consideration of the measures of variability as well as mean or median,
 variability is responsible for the overlap of two data sets and that an increase in variability can increase the overlap, and
 median is paired with the interquartile range and mean is paired with the mean absolute deviation.
Vocabulary:
centers (also measures of center): The location where roughly half the values are below it and the other half above it (mean and
median are numbers used to describe the center of a distribution).
interquartile range: A measure of variation in a set of numerical data, the interquartile range is the distance
between the first and third quartiles of the data set. Example: For the data set {1, 3, 6, 7, 10, 12, 14, 15, 22, 120},
the interquartile range is 15 – 6 = 9. See also: first quartile, third quartile.
mean absolute deviation: A measure of variation in a set of numerical data, computed by adding the distances between each data
value and the mean, then dividing by the number of data values. Example: For the data set {2, 3, 6, 7, 10, 12, 14, 15, 22, 120}, the
mean absolute deviation is 20.
variabilities (also measures of variability): A mathematical determination of how much the performance of group or data set as a
whole deviates from the mean or median. (range, mean absolute deviation, interquartile range are numbers used to describe the
variability of a data set)
cluster: When data seems to be "gathered" around a particular value.
peak: A high point in the data.
gap: A space in a graph with no data points.
symmetry: A graph that is balanced around a line of symmetry. The data is evenly distributed above and below the median.
skew: When data has a "long tail" on one side or the other, meaning it is asymmetrical.
outlier: A value much great or much less than the others in a data set.
Sample Problem(s): Solutions to Sample Problems
Sample Problem 6:
Jason wants to compare the mean height of the players on his favorite basketball and soccer teams. He thinks the mean height of
the players on the basketball team will be greater but doesn’t know how much greater. He also wonders if the variability of heights
of the athletes is related to the sport they play. He thinks that there will be a greater variability in the heights of soccer players as
compared to basketball players. He used the rosters and player statistics from the team websites to generate the following lists.
Basketball Team – Height of Players in inches for 2010-2011 Season
75, 73, 76, 78, 79, 78, 79, 81, 80, 82, 81, 84, 82, 84, 80, 84
Soccer Team – Height of Players in inches for 2010
73, 73, 73, 72, 69, 76, 72, 73, 74, 70, 65, 71, 74, 76, 70, 72, 71, 74, 71, 74, 73, 67, 70, 72, 69, 78, 73, 76, 69
Demonstrate how Jason can use visual representation of the data to verify his conjectures? (SP3)
Solution:
To compare the data sets, Jason creates a two dot plots on the same scale. The shortest player is 65 inches and the tallest players
are 84 inches.
In looking at the distribution of the data, Jason observes that there is some overlap between the two data sets. Some players on
both teams have players between 73 and 78 inches tall. Jason decides to use the mean and mean absolute deviation to compare the
data sets. Jason sets up a table for each data set to help him with the calculations.
The mean height of the basketball players is 79.75 inches as compared to the mean height of the soccer players at 72.07 inches, a
difference of 7.68 inches.
The mean absolute deviation (MAD) is calculated by taking the mean of the absolute deviations for each data point. The difference
between each data point and the mean is recorded in the second column of the table. Jason used rounded values (80 inches for the
mean height of basketball players and 72 inches for the mean height of soccer players) to find the differences. The absolute
deviation, absolute value of the deviation, is recorded in the third column. The absolute deviations are summed and divided by the
number of data points in the set.
The mean absolute deviation is 2.53 inches for the basketball players and 2.14 for the soccer players. These values indicate
moderate variation in both data sets. There is slightly more variability in the height of the soccer players. The difference between the
heights of the teams is approximately 3 times the variability of the data sets (7.68 ÷ 2.53 = 3.04).

Student Misconceptions: Students think that the middle of
a box and whisker plot is the mean. Often students do not
relate the five number summary (minimum, first quartile,
median, third quartile, and maximum) to the marks in a box
and whisker plot. When a student makes a plot without
scale they will make the quartiles the same length. This does
not allow the student to see the shape of the distribution
(skewed, normal, etc.)

population. When comparing the summary data from two
populations comparisons are definite and the difference can
be stated as such. When the data is a statistic from a sample
taken from a larger population the comparison introduce
some uncertainty. People often want to have definitive
comparisons from data sets and this is simply not
statistically possible when dealing with samples.
