Question

This dot plot shows the number of runs scored by the yellow jackets in their last 12 games. How could you describe the graft?

Answer 1

Symmetric

Explanation:

The dot plot provided is almost symmetric :

Obtaining the median value :

2, 3, 5, 5, 6, 6, 6, 6, 7, 7, 7, 9

1/2 ( n + 1)

n = 12

1/2 (13) = 6.5

(6 + 6) /2

12 /2

= 6

Counting the number of points to the left and to the right of the median vlaue in the plot, we'll see that the difference in values aren't entirely different, and as such folding along the median value won't leave too much on one side than the other. Hence, the plot is symmetric.
