Question

Which statement is best supported by the dot plot? Choose ONE and explain your

answer.

I. The range of the number of miles Amanda skated in August is less than the range

of the number of miles she skated in July.

II. The distribution of data is approximately symmetrical in both sets of data.

III.The mode of the number of miles Amanda skated in July is equal to the mode of

the number of miles skated in August.

Answer 1

The first statement.

Explanation:

Because when you look at the July graph you can see that the highest number of miles is 15 and the lowest number of miles is 1 so the range is 15 - 1 = 14.

When you look at the August graph you can see that the highest number of miles is 13 and the lowest number of miles is 5 so the range is 13 - 5 = 8

So the range of the July month is greater than the range of the August month
