The following dot plot shows the pulse rates of runners after finishing a marathon: Which of the following data sets is represented in the dot plot?

{6, 5, 2, 4}
{140, 165, 170, 180}
{140, 140, 140, 140, 140, 140, 165, 165, 165, 165, 165, 170, 170, 180, 180, 180, 180}
{140, 141, 142, 145, 145, 149, 150, 151, 152, 160, 165, 170, 170, 172, 178, 179, 180, 180}

The correct answer is Option C:

{140, 140, 140, 140, 140, 140, 165, 165, 165, 165, 165, 170, 170, 180, 180, 180, 180}

Step-by-step explanation:

Dot plots are one of the tools that are used to represent data in statistics and mathematics.

As the dot plot is given, we can make the data set from the plot.

As we can see that there are 6 dots above the value 140 that means 140 occurs 6 times in the data set.

Similarly, 165 occurs 5 times, 170 two times and 180 four times.

So the dataset will be:

{140, 140, 140, 140, 140, 140, 165, 165, 165, 165, 165, 170, 170, 180, 180, 180, 180}

boxplot

answer: c, the green line

step-by-step explanation:

there is no black line, eliminate b.

simple interest implies periodic payments, but the red line shows no payments, eliminate d.

simple interest has equal payments. if paid say every day, the graph is about a straight line (actually a stairstep).

the yellow line is not straight, eliminate a.

check: the green line is straight, answer is c.

simple interest with positive interest rate gives a straight line sloping up to the right. green line:

g(t) = $100 + ($200-$100) ÷ (20 years) × (t years)

= $100 + (4%/year) × ($100)(t years)

incidentally, the yellow line curving upward represents continuously compounded interest

y = $100 × 2^(t years / (14 assuming the yellow line hits $200 at 14 years. 2^0 is 1, so y(0) = $100; 2^(14/14) is 2, so y(14) = $200.
