Question

based on the two data sets represented below, complete the following sentences.
data set b
data set c
answer attempt 1 out of 2
the center of data set b is than the center of data set c. the spread of data set b is than the
spread of data set c.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the center of the data sets

The center of a data set (using the concept of central tendency, here we can visually estimate the median - the middle value). Looking at the dot - plots, Data Set B has most of its data points clustered towards the left - hand side (lower values), while Data Set C has data points more spread out but with a relatively more balanced distribution around a higher value range. So, the center of Data Set B is less than the center of Data Set C.

Step2: Analyze the spread of the data sets

The spread of a data set can be thought of as how much the data is dispersed. Data Set B has data points that are more concentrated (less spread out) around a particular range of values. Data Set C has data points that are more spread out over a wider range of values. So, the spread of Data Set B is less than the spread of Data Set C.

Answer:

The center of Data Set B is less than the center of Data Set C. The spread of Data Set B is less than the spread of Data Set C.
