PLZ HELP FAN WITH MEDAL

A group of 10 students participated in a quiz competition. Their scores are shown below:

4, 4, 3, 4, 3, 12, 4, 3, 2, 3

Part A: Would a dot plot, a histogram, or a box plot best represent the data shown above if the purpose of the graph is to highlight the frequency of each individual score? Explain your answer. (4 points)

Part B: Provide a step-by-step description of how you would create the graph named in Part A. (6 points)

Answer 1

Again, what do you think?

Answer 2

Answer 4

Answer 5

s to highlight the frequency of each individual score?

Answer 6

box plot then

Answer 7

Explain why.

Answer 8

Answer 9

that is all i got i do not know how to explain this

Answer 10

Let's work out why and why not each one would or would not work.

Answer 11

dot plot- It can show you data, and the relationship if x and y (er...really general). I usually use this data in my work for data over time. I dunno how else to explain it.
a histogram- It can show you how much things are in each category (5 blue dogs, 3 red chats)
or a box plot- It shows data, but it is data have margins of errors (e.g. if you were sampling chemicals for purity, this would be helpful)

Answer 12

So, box plot is definitely out.

Answer 13

then histogram

Answer 14

I would have thought so.

Answer 15

Look up images of each graph, that would help you a lot.

Answer 16

Answer 17
