In this question, students make a comparison between two crops of beans. They will need to use interpolation to estimate the interquartile range and median from the histogram to make this comparison.
Their comparison should useTheir comparison should use these values to comment on the spread and measure of the central location for each crop.

Should the students need further prompts, I encourage them to present the information within a table as shown below.
By laying out the information in this way, the majority of the students could calculate the total volume and mass of the composite solid.
