How do you describe a shape of a dot plot?

Question

In lesson 10.1 and I need help.!!

Answer 1

When you describe this you want to talk about 3 different things: 1. Center 2. Shape 3. Spread 1. Center - where does this appear to be? Is this a single mode or double mode? 2. Shape - Does this look like a bell curve (normal)? Is there a skew to it? If there is a large portion of data on the right side and a few dots on the left, then this is called left skewed. 3. Spread - How far apart are the dots? Are there a few dots that seem further away from the rest of them? I hope this helps. -Adam
