Question

the dot plot shows the survey results of 9 members of the latinx club, including elias and valeria. each member surveyed a random sample of 50 students in the school. based on the results, explain why basing an inference on valerias result might be misleading. valerias result is equal to the median. valerias result is not a typical value among the survey results. valerias result is the most common result. valerias result is not based on the same sample size as the other results.

Explanation:

When making inferences from data, it's important that the data point used is representative of the overall data set. In a dot - plot, we look at the distribution of data points. If a particular result (Valeria's in this case) is an outlier or not in the cluster of most data points, it can mislead the inference. Here, Valeria's result is not in the cluster of most of the survey results (most results are clustered around 20 - 22, while Valeria's is at 18). So, using her non - typical value for inference can give a wrong picture of the general trend.

Answer:

Valeria’s result is not a typical value among the survey results.
