Question

practice describing data in dot plots.
class size
how can lakota describe the data on the dot plot?
choose all that apply.
□ spread
□ gap
□ peak
□ color
□ size of dots
□ cluster

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze each option

• Spread: The data ranges from 10 to 50, so spread (range of data) is a valid description.
• Gap: There's a gap between 30 - 40 (no dots) and between 10 - 20 has some, 20 - 30 has more, then gap to 50. So gap exists.
• Peak: The column at 30 has the most dots, so there's a peak at 30.
• Color: The dots' color isn't a feature to describe data in a dot plot for its distribution.
• Size of dots: Dot size isn't used to describe data distribution in a dot plot.
• Cluster: There are clusters around 10 - 20, 20 - 30 (a larger cluster), and a single dot at 50. So cluster is valid.

Step2: Identify applicable options

From the analysis, spread, gap, peak, and cluster are valid ways to describe the dot - plot data. Color and size of dots are not relevant for describing the data distribution.

Answer:

• spread (checked)
• gap (checked)
• peak (checked)
• cluster (checked)

(Note: In the original problem's checkbox format, these options should have their checkboxes marked. The non - applicable ones are color and size of dots.)
