Question

Consider the dot plot below. Of the following statements, which two characteristics of this dot plot make the median a better choice than the mean to summarize the center of the distribution?
A dot plot with an axis marked from 0 to 10 at increments of 1 is shown. The plot shows 10 dots at 0, 8 dots at 1, 4 dots at 2, 3 dots at 3, and 1 dot each at 4 and 10.

A. The data are skewed and there is an outlier.
B. The data are symmetric and there is an outlier.
C. The peak is equal to the median and the data are skewed.
D.The mean is equal to the median and the data are symmetric.

Answer 1

The data are skewed and there is an outlier statement first is correct.

What is the box and whisker plot?

A box and whisker plot is a method of abstracting a set of data that is approximated using an interval scale. It's also known as a box plot. These are primarily used to interpret data.

We have data on the box plot.

Because the dots decrease as the number line grows, the depicted dot plot is skewed right.

The graph's "tail" is pushed toward greater positive numbers. As a result, the mean is pushed towards the graph's tail and is higher than the median.

Thus, the data are skewed and there is an outlier statement first is correct.
