Question

The following dot plot shows the number of weekly challenge questions each of the 30 members the Math Bowl team answered correctly last season. Each dot represents a different member. Which of the following is a typical number of challenge questions one member answered correctly?

Answer 1

`10`

Answer 2

10

Explanation:

The most number of questions answered correctly are 10 and 11.

The typical number of questions a student answered correctly can be represented by the middle most value that is common to the data set.

If the data set is distributed evenly, the median, or the middle most value will fall on the 15th and 16th dots, which represents 10 correct correct challenge questions answered.

The typical number is 10.
