Question

question 8. choose the situation that would not be best represented by a dot plot a. a survey at the mall where they asked 250 people how many stores they were going to b. asking 10 families how many pets they have. c. a small set of data that has several points clustered around the same few numbers d. you want to see how many hours of homework you do each night for a month

Explanation:

Dot plots are good for small - to - medium - sized data sets. A survey with 250 people is a relatively large data set. While dot plots can technically be used for larger data, they become less practical and visually cluttered compared to other graphs like histograms. Options B (10 families), C (small data set), and D (a month's data, which is about 30 data points) are more suitable for dot plots as they are smaller data sets.

Answer:

A. A survey at the mall where they asked 250 people how many stores they were going to.
