standard_description: Recognize a statistical question as one that anticipates variability in the data related to the question and accounts for it in the answers. For example, “How old am I?” is not a statistical question, but “How old are the students in my school?” is a statistical question because one anticipates variability in students’ ages.
problem_activity: Problem 1
At the store, you see oranges on sale at 1 pound for $3. At a different store, your brother sees oranges on sale at 3 pounds for $8.
Do the oranges cost the same at both stores? Which store offers the better deal? Justify your answer.
Problem 2
Callie biked 12 miles in 3 hours. Carter biked 10 miles in 2 hours.
Represent each person's trip with a double number line. Explain how you can see that they are not going the same speed.
Problem 3
Density is the relationship between the mass of an object and its volume, or amount of space it takes up. A scientist finds a rock and determines its mass to be 18 grams and its volume to be 4 cm
$$^{3}$$
. Another rock is found with a mass of 63 grams and a volume of 14 cm
$$^{3}$$
.
Draw two double number lines to compare the two rocks. Do the rocks have equivalent ratios of mass and volume? Do they have the same density?
