Question

each dot plot below represents a different set of data. order the data sets from largest standard deviation (top) to smallest standard deviation (bottom). 0 100 0 100

Explanation:

Step1: Recall standard - deviation concept

Standard deviation measures the spread of data. The more spread out the data points are from the mean, the larger the standard deviation.

Step2: Analyze top dot - plot

The top dot - plot has data points clustered in two groups around non - extreme values.

Step3: Analyze middle dot - plot

The middle dot - plot has data points at the two extremes (0 and 100), which are more spread out from the potential mean compared to the top plot.

Step4: Analyze bottom dot - plot

The bottom dot - plot has data points more dispersed than the top plot but less dispersed than the middle plot as it has some points in the middle along with points at the extremes.

Answer:

Middle dot - plot, Bottom dot - plot, Top dot - plot
