Question

(08.03 MC) The dot plot below shows the hourly rate of some babysitters in a city: Which statement best describes the shape of the data? (1 point) Question 7 options: 1) It is symmetric and has no gaps. 2) It is not symmetric and has a peak at $5.00. 3) It is a cluster from $1.00 to $5.00 and has gaps. 4) It is a cluster from $1.00 to $5.00 and has a peak at $5.00.

Answer 1

A. It is symmetric and has no gaps.

Explanation:

Given

See attachment for dot plot

Required

Select the true statement

From the attached plot, we can see that

1. The plot is bell shaped (by tracing the number of dots on each dataset)
2. There is no gap between each dataset (from 4 to 7)

Since (1) all bell shaped distribution are symmetric and (2) there is no gap between the dataset, then (a) is correct.
