Skewed Distributions Dot Plots

The dot plots below show the number of customers at Mr. Burger and Mr. Chicken during rush hour over the course of 10 days. Which statement correctly compares the distribution of the number of customers at each restaurant during rush hour?

• Mr. Burger's number of customers during rush hour, is greater than Mr. Chicken's number of customers during rush hour.

• Mr. Burger's median number of customers during rush hour, is greater than Mr. Chicken's median number of customers during rush hour.

• There is more variability in Mr. Chicken's number of customers during rush hour, than Mr. Burger's number of customers during rush hour.

• There is less variability in Mr. Chicken's number of customers during rush hour, than Mr. Burger's number of customers during rush hour.
