Statistics and Data Analysis Assessment

This Statistics and Data Analysis Assessment provides comprehensive practice with interpreting and analyzing data using a variety of graphical and numerical representations. Students solve problems involving dot plots, box plots, histograms, line graphs, measures of center, measures of variability, and statistical reasoning while applying multiple concepts throughout the assessment.

The assessment requires students to calculate the mean, median, interquartile range (IQR), mean absolute deviation (MAD), range, and five-number summary while interpreting real-world data sets and graphs. Students also analyze statistical questions, compare data distributions, interpret histograms and box plots, and solve multi-step problems involving averages and data analysis.

This resource works well as a unit assessment, cumulative review, or end-of-unit evaluation for a middle school statistics unit. The variety of question types encourages students to demonstrate both computational accuracy and conceptual understanding while preparing for state assessments and future work with statistical analysis.
