Question

The dot plot below shows the number of passengers in some cars:

Answer 1

Answer:

The statement which best describe the shape of the data is:

     It is not symmetric and has a peak at 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

A dot plot is said to be symmetric if the plot to the left and right hand side of the mean is roughly the same.

Here by looking at the dot plot we see that the data is not symmetric as it is not equally divided to the left and right of the mean.s

Also, the peak is at the point at which the frequency i.e. the dots are the highest.

Hence, from the dot plot we observe that the peak is at: 4

( Since the frequency at 4 is highest i.e. 5)

Answer 2

Answer:
