OpenStudy (nuccioreggie):

Oh lLOL MY BAD LOOLLL

OpenStudy (nuccioreggie):

The dot plots below show the weights of the players of two teams: Two dot plots are shown one below the other. The top and the bottom plots have the title Team A and Team B respectively. Below the line for each dot plot is written Weight followed by pounds in parentheses. The markings on each line are from 120 till 140 at intervals of 1. For the top plot there are two dots each for 120, 121 and 126 and 1 dot each for 123, and 128. For the bottom plot there are 2 dots each for 130 and 139 and 1 dot each for 126, 127, 132, and 135. Based on visual inspection of the dot plots, which team appears to have the larger mean weight? Team A Team B Both groups are similar. Not enough information is available to draw a conclusion.

@HWBUSTER00. Here is the screenshot

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I would say team B

OpenStudy (nuccioreggie):

Why

OpenStudy (anonymous):

since the numbers are larger, and outliers affect the mean

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just do the mean for both teams and see which is bigger

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it says based on "visual inspection"
