About This Worksheet

This hard-level worksheet contains 15 problems designed for 7th Grade students practicing comparing populations. Hard worksheets feature challenging problems including multi-step questions, missing values, and real-world applications to push students further.

Comparing populations with statistics is how science and social science detect patterns and differences. This skill is used in medical research, education policy, and business analytics — any field where decisions are guided by data.

  • Calculate and compare measures of center for two data sets
  • Use measures of variability to assess whether differences are meaningful
  • Draw informal inferences about two populations from sample data
  • Use double box plots or dot plots to visualize two population distributions
  • Interpret overlap in distributions to judge if a difference is significant
