Description
This model-eliciting activity (MEA) challenges students to develop ideas about center and variability when making decisions based on data. Students examine data on departure delays for five airlines flying out of the Chicago O'Hare airport. The task is to develop a model to determine which airline has the best chance of departing on time. Students write a report that identifies the best airline and the reasoning behind their decision.
