Student Statement
I am able to determine how measures of center and spread would change if all data points in a set changed by the same amount (using addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division).
Common Core Standards

ID.A.3: Interpret differences in shape, center, and spread in the context of the data sets, accounting for possible effects of extreme data points (outliers).
