Question

A group of seventh graders and a group of teachers at a local middle school were asked how many siblings they each have. The dot plots below show the results. Students A dot plot titled Students. A number line going from 0 to 9 labeled number of siblings. There are 2 dots above 0, 4 above 1, 7 above 2, 5 above 3, 2 above 4, and 0 above 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. Teachers A dot plot titled Teachers. A number line going from 0 to 9 labeled Number of siblings. There is 1 dot above 0, 3 dots above 1, 2 above 2, 4 above 3, 5 above 4, 3 above 5, 1 above 6, 0 above 7, 1 above 8, and 0 above 9. When comparing the shape of the two sets of data, what conclusion can someone draw? The students tend to have fewer siblings than the teachers. The teachers tend to have fewer siblings than the students. Both the students and the teachers have a wide range of siblings. Both sets of data have the same shape. the answer is- a.

Answer 2

A. The students tend to have fewer siblings than the teachers.

Explanation:

First we need to draw the dot plots correctly. If you count both sides they have 20 each.

Now, clearly none have fewer nobody here yet has more or less but going on to the next step.

Multiply exactly the number of siblings times how many people chose that many siblings. Ex: 2 (siblings) times 7 (people who has 2 siblings) = 14. And so on.

On the Student A, we get a total of 41 people having sibling, if you count the 0's then there were a total of 43 people. But now on the Teacher's A Dot Plot, we have a total of 68 people, if you include the 0 then we have a total of 69.

So the answer is A. The students tend to have fewer siblings than the teachers.
