The dot plots below show the scores for a group of students who took two rounds of a quiz: Two dot plots are shown one below the other. The title for the dot plot on the top is Round 1 and the title for the bottom plot is Round 2. Below the line for each dot plot is written Score. There are markings from 5 to 9 on the line at intervals of one. There are 2 dots above the mark 5, 3 dots above the mark 6, 4 dots above the mark 7, and 1 dot above the mark 8. For the bottom dot plot there are 6 dots above the mark 6, 2 dots above the mark 8, and 2 dots above the mark 9. Which of the following inferences can be made using the dot plot? The range of each round is the same. There is no overlap between the data. Round 1 scores were higher than round 2 scores. Round 2 scores were lower than round 1 scores.

@rational please help its really important tht i get this question right

OpenStudy (misty1212):

HI!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol hi can u help me?

OpenStudy (misty1212):

i can try

OpenStudy (misty1212):

lets take your choices one by one

OpenStudy (misty1212):

The range of each round is the same. that is FALSE because the range of the first one is from 5 to 8, the second from 6 to 9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok

OpenStudy (misty1212):

There is no overlap between the data. i am not really sure what this means "overlap" so lets check the other one

OpenStudy (rational):

8-5 = 9-6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh so the range of each is the same

OpenStudy (misty1212):

no no not the same, different

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but they both equal 3

OpenStudy (misty1212):

hmmm

OpenStudy (misty1212):

i guess it depends on how you reckon "range" i would say the range of the first one is 5 to 8, the second one 6 to 9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for range u subtract the biggest number with the smallest

OpenStudy (misty1212):

the average of the first scores is \(6.4\) and the average of the second is \(7\)

OpenStudy (misty1212):

ok if that is how you compute the range, then they are both 3

ok thnk u
