Watch: Watch whether the learner compares the occupied endpoints in both plots before choosing. The decisive evidence is 36 − 24 = 12 and 38 − 22 = 16.

Misread: A wrong median or most common time statement shows the learner compared center instead of spread; the mirror statement shows the learner mistook the overall width for asymmetry.

Curriculum: This task develops reading paired dot plots and comparing distribution spread with range, while distinguishing spread from center and shape.
