Final answer:
In summary, the raw data can only be retrieved from a dot plot, not a histogram, as the dot plot represents individual data points, whereas a histogram represents data in grouped intervals.
Step-by-step explanation:
When comparing a dot plot to a histogram, there are several key points to consider:
- (A) Histograms do not show the frequency of individual data values; instead, they show the frequency of data within a range of values.
- (B) The raw data can be retrieved from the dot plot, as each dot represents an individual data point. This is not the case with a histogram, where individual data points are not shown, and only grouped data within intervals are represented by bars.
- (C) Dotplots are used to show the frequency of individual data values, with each dot representing one occurrence of a data point.
- (D) You cannot retrieve raw data from a histogram as you can from a dot plot, because a histogram represents data in grouped intervals, not specific data points.
A frequency table or a frequency polygon can also be useful tools for data representation in complement to histograms and dot plots, especially when comparing distributions.
