The dot plot shows a random sample of the number of fish caught and released by 30 participants during a two-day fishing derby. Two dot plots show the number of fish caught on days 1 and 2. The dot plot for day 1 has dots as follows: 3 above 1, 6 above 2, 6 above 3, 6 above 4, 6 above 6, and 3 above 6. The dot plot for day 2 has dots as follows: 3 above 1, 3 above 2, 4 above 3, 6 above 4, 7 above 5, and 7 above 6. Use the mean value of each data set to make an inference about the number of fish caught each day. On average, most participants caught and released 5 or more fish. More participants caught 6 fish than any other number. The same participants who caught and released 1 fish the first day caught and released 1 fish the second day. On average, participants caught and released more fish on Day 2.

Final answer:

The dot plot shows the number of fish caught and released by participants during a two-day fishing derby. On average, participants caught and released more fish on Day 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

The dot plot shows the number of fish caught and released by 30 participants during a two-day fishing derby. On Day 1, the majority of participants caught 6 fish, while some caught 1, 2, 3, or 4 fish. On Day 2, the majority of participants caught 5 or 6 fish, with some catching 1, 2, 3, or 4 fish. The mean value for Day 1 is 4.7 fish, and the mean value for Day 2 is 3.67 fish. Therefore, on average, participants caught and released more fish on Day 1.
