Mastering Dot Plots and Data Analysis

What does the mean represent in a dot plot?

• The average value of the data set

• The most frequently occurring value

• The difference between the highest and lowest values

• The middle value of the data set

What does a skewed dot plot indicate?

• An even distribution of data

• A concentration of data on one side

• No outliers present

• All values are the same

What is a cluster in the context of a dot plot?

• A large gap between data points

• The range of the data set

• A single outlier dot

• A group of closely located dots

How is the median found in a dot plot?

• By locating the middle dot in the data set

• By subtracting the smallest value from the largest

• By calculating the average of all data points

• By identifying the tallest stack of dots

Which score was the median for the player's basketball scores?

• 12 points

• 16 points

What does the mode indicate in a dot plot?

• The middle value of the data set

What was the mode for the friend's basketball scores?

• 10 points

• 12 points

• 14 points

• 16 points

Which data set is more consistent based on the range?

• The one with the wider range of scores

• The one with the most outliers

• The one with scores closely clustered together

• The one with the highest average score

How can the range of a data set be determined from a dot plot?

• By finding the difference between the highest and lowest values

• By identifying the tallest stack of dots

• By counting the number of dots

• By calculating the average of all data points

How is an outlier identified in a dot plot?

• It is the dot farthest to the left

• It is the dot with the highest value

• It is a dot that stands far away from the rest

• It is the dot in the middle of the plot
