 Narrative
 The first partner spins to get a group of coins. They write a question that compares the amount they spun to a different group of coins that they make up.

Concept/skill: 
Solve word problems involving dollar bills, quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies, using $ and ¬¢ symbols appropriately. Example: If you have 2 dimes and 3 pennies, how many cents do you have?

Answer: 
Yes. In this activity, students write word problems that compare coin amounts.

Now, assess whether the following problem or activity is 'aligned' with the given Common Core standard in Mathematics.

standard_description: Construct and interpret scatter plots for bivariate measurement data to investigate patterns of association between two quantities. Describe patterns such as clustering, outliers, positive or negative association, linear association, and nonlinear association.
problem_activity: Task
Students were asked to report how far (in miles) they each live from school. The following distances were recorded.
|    | Student  | Distance |
|----|----------|----------|
| 1  |   Zane   |   0.4    |
| 2  | Jackson  |   0.5    |
| 3  | Benjamin |   1.0    |
| 4  | Bethany  |   1.0    |
| 5  |   Joe    |   2.4    |
| 6  |  Noelle  |   2.7    |
| 7  |  Tianye  |   3.0    |
| 8  | Anthony  |   3.2    |
| 9  |  Amanda  |   4.1    |
| 10 | Michaela |   4.2    |
| 11 | Miranda  |   4.4    |
| 12 |  Joseph  |   5.0    |
| 13 |   John   |   7.5    |
1.  Summary statistics for the distances are given below.
| Min | Q1  | Median | Q3  | Max | Mean |
|-----|-----|--------|-----|-----|------|
| 0.4 | 1.0 |  3.0   | 4.3 | 7.5 | 3.03 |
Construct a box plot for the distances and describe the main features of the distribution.
2.  John currently lives furthest from school. Would you consider his distance from school (7.5 miles) to be ”unusual"? Explain.
3.  John’s family is considering moving to a house that is 10 miles from school. How will this move affect the summary statistics? Change John’s distance from 7.5 miles to 10 miles and complete the table based on this new data.
| Min | Q1 | Median | Q3 | Max | Mean |
|-----|----|--------|----|-----|------|
|     |    |        |    |     |      |
Has the mean increased, decreased or remained unchanged? Has the median increased, decreased or remained unchanged? Explain how John’s move has affected these measures of center.
4.  Construct a boxplot of the distances after John's move. Would you consider John's new distance from school (10 miles) to be "unusual" now? Explain.
5.  A data point can be considered an “outlier” if it is more than 1.5 times the IQR above Q3 or more than 1.5 times the IQR below Q1. Using this description of an outlier, was John’s distance from school considered an outlier before the move? How about after the move? Support your answer with appropriate work.
6.  Zane lives closest to school. Using the description of an outlier given in question 5, is his distance considered an outlier?
