The dot plot demonstrates that the weight distribution of the cherry bags at the farmers market is normal, with the majority of the bags weighing between nine and eleven ounces.
The dot plot shows the weights of bags of cherries at a farmers market. The weights are distributed between 1 ounce and 13 ounces, with most bags weighing between 9 and 11 ounces. There is one outlier at 4 ounces.
To identify the outlier, we can look at the interquartile range (IQR). The IQR is the difference between the third and first quartiles. In this case, the IQR is 2 ounces (11 ounces - 9 ounces). Any data point that is more than 1.5 IQRs away from the median is considered an outlier.
The median weight of a bag of cherries is 10 ounces. The outlier bag of cherries weighs 4 ounces, which is more than 1.5 IQRs away from the median. Therefore, the outlier is at 4 ounces.
One possible explanation for the outlier is that the bag of cherries was accidentally underfilled. Another possibility is that the bag contains a different type of cherry that is heavier or lighter than the other types of cherries.
Overall, the dot plot shows that the weights of bags of cherries at the farmers market are normally distributed, with most bags weighing between 9 and 11 ounces. There is one outlier at 4 ounces, which may be due to an underfilled bag or a different type of cherry.
