Understanding Dot Plots, Histograms, and Box Plots

What shape does a normal distribution have in a dot plot?

• Bell-shaped curve

• Irregular shape

• Straight line

• Scattered dots

What indicates a skewed right distribution in a histogram?

• Symmetrical bars

• A tail on the right side

• Uniform bar heights

• A tail on the left side

Why can't the mean be accurately found using a histogram?

• Because it only shows the median

• Because histograms cannot show distributions

• Because individual data points are not distinguishable

• Because it shows only the mode

What is a drawback of using histograms to find the median?

• They show too much detail

• They are too complex to understand

• They cannot show exact values

• They only display the mode

What is the benefit of using a box plot to represent data?

• It clearly shows the distribution's skewness

• It displays individual data points

• It can accurately calculate the mean

• It easily identifies quartiles and the median
