Drills
A fair comparison pairs an average with a measure of spread, both in context.
Author note — to cover
Compare two data sets by pairing one average with one measure of spread, both interpreted in context, such as higher on average but less consistent. Stress that marks need context, not bare numbers. Foundation compares with mean or median and range; comparisons through quartiles and box plots are Higher, on the sibling page. (S4)
