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:

• Spread: It refers to how the data is distributed or how much the data values vary. In a dot - plot, we can observe the spread by looking at the range of values covered by the dots.
• Gap: A gap in a dot - plot is an interval on the number line where there are no data points.
• Peak: A peak is a value (or a group of adjacent values) where there are more data points (dots) compared to the neighboring values.
• Cluster: A cluster is a group of data points (dots) that are close together on the number line.

Color and size of dots are not characteristics of the data itself but rather elements related to the visual representation (like if we were to color - code or size - code the dots for some non - data - related purpose, which is not relevant to describing the data distribution).

Answer:

spread, gap, peak, cluster
