Question

(08.06 MC)Consider the following dot plot. 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. 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.

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

Answer 1

The data are skewed and there is an outlier

Explanation:

hope that helps :>

Answer 2

The given dot plot is skewed right because the dots are decreasing as the number line increases.
The "tail" of the graph is pulled towards higher positive numbers. Therefore, the mean is pulled towards the tail of the graph and is greater than the median. The graph is also symmetric.
Hence,
The data are skewed and there is an outlier at 10.
