Answer:

Carlita is correct because Dot Plot A is more spread out than Dot Pot B

Explanation:

Dot Plot B is skewed left which means most of its data is on the left side so it will mostly have lower numbers as data. On the other hand, Dot Plot A is spread out so it has both low numbers but also some higher numbers.
