PLLLLLEEEAAASSEE HELP!!Lifeguards counted the number of surfers in the water at two different locations, Sunset Beach and Sandy Point They recorded the number of surfers every half hour from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and then made line plots of the data What is the degree of overlap of the two data sets distributions A. high B. moderate C. low D. none

Answer 1

The degree of overlap between the two distributions is "C" - low. What this means in practice is that the surfers at some points were in the same place or there was some overlap in times when surfers were present in the two locations.  hope it helps.

Answer 2

The two distributions upon the "ruler" scale clearly overlap at points 14 and 15. There is only an overlap for 2 points. Therefore the degree of overlap between the two distributions is "C" - low. What this means in practice is that the surfers at some points were in the same place or there was some overlap in times when surfers were present in the two locations.
