Tia measured the daily high temperature in Kats, Colorado for each of the 30 days in April. She then created both a dot plot and a box plot to display the same data (both diagrams are shown below). Which display can be used to find how many days had a high temperature above 15∘ C15, degrees, start text, C, end text

*see attachment below showing the dot plot and box plot created by Tia

Answer:

Dot plot

Explanation:

In a dot plot, the temperature of a day is represented by 1 dot. There are 30 dots on the box plot shown in the attachment that was made by Tia.

This dot plot display makes it easier to find how many days had a temperature that is higher than 15°.

Thus, from the dot plot, we have:

2 dots representing 2 days having a temperature of 16°C each

2 days also have daily temperature of 17°C

2 days have temperature of 18°C as well, and

1 day has temperature of 19° C.

Therefore, the number of days that had a temperature above 15°C is 7 days.

Tia measured the daily high temperature in Kats, Colorado for each of the 30 days-example-1
