The dot plots below show the scores for a group of students for two rounds of a quiz: Which of the following inferences can be made using the dot plots? The range of round 2 is greater than the round 1 range. Round 2 scores are higher than round 1 scores. Round 1 scores are lower than round 2 scores. There is no overlap between the data.

Choice A) round 2 has larger range

Explanation:

Choice A is true. The range is the difference of the max and min. Round 1 has a range of 5-4 = 1, while round 2's range is 5-1 = 4. Round 2 has a larger range of scores. We don't really need to do any kind of math here. We can simply spot that round 2 has its dots more spread out compared to round 1, so round 2 must have the larger range.Choice B is somewhat true. If we compare a score of 4 in round 1 to a score of 5 in round 2, then round 2 has a higher score. But we could easily flip things around. So saying one round has higher scores than the other is not particularly meaningful in this scenario. I would say it all depends on how you phrase the problem carefully. In any event, I would say that choice B is false since we can't definitively say it's true.Choice C is a similar story as choice B, just flip things around. So I'd say this is false too. We would need all of the dots of round 1 to be to the left of all the dots of round 2, in order for choice C to be a true statement. Because there's overlap, we run into a problem. Choice D is false because there is overlap for scores 4 and 5. In other words, both dot plots have dots over "4" and over "5". These are the scores the dot plots share in common.

Is 8.50 an answer or no? ?
