Which dot plot best represents the data?

Answer 1

Be certain that you know what a "dot plot" is and how to make such a plot.

In general terms, a dot plot shows us how our data is distributed. In other words, by looking at a given dot plot, you could summarize the data distribution by stating "the largest number of data points are located at x=5 and the next largest number at x=6."
