Question

data were gathered from two groups and displayed in the line plots.

two dot plots: data set a and data set b, each with a number line from 1 to 7

compare the shapes of the distributions of the two data sets.

• both data sets are skewed left.
• data set a is skewed right, while data set b is skewed left.
• data set a is skewed left, while data set b is skewed right.
• both data sets are skewed right.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze Data Set A's shape

Data Set A has more dots on the right side (higher values) and fewer on the left, so it is skewed left.

Step2: Analyze Data Set B's shape

Data Set B has more dots on the left side (lower values) and fewer on the right, so it is skewed right.

Step3: Match with options

The shape comparison matches the option stating Data Set A is skewed left and Data Set B is skewed right.

Answer:

Data Set A is skewed left, while Data Set B is skewed right.
