Question

The dot plot below shows the drawing scores of some students:

A number line is shown from 1 to 5 in increments of 1. The horizontal axis label is Score. There is 1 dot above 1, 2 dots above 2, 3 dots above 3, 2 dots above 4, and 1 dot above 5. The title of the line plot is Dance Scores.

Which statement best describes the shape of the data?

It is symmetric and has a peak at 3.
It is symmetric and has a peak at 5.
It is not symmetric and has a peak at 3.
It is not symmetric and has a peak at 5.

Answer 1

do you know what symmetrical means ?

Answer 2

exactly similar parts facing each

Answer 3

The term 'symmetric' refers to the fact that it will look the same if the graph is flipped/REVERSED.

The 'peak' stands for the highest point

when we flip it it will look the same right?

and what is the peek of the graph? (where the most dots things are)

Answer 4

it's when both sides are the same/equal,
if i was to cut it in half then it both sides would be the same
so take a look at your line plot and tell me if both halves are the same

Answer 5

@niahmk ? e.e

Answer 6

1st we're determining if the line plot is symmetrical or not ...
