Question

The students in Class A and Class B were asked how many pets they each have. The dot plots below show the results. What is the difference between the ranges in the dot plots?

Answer 1

The mean can be calculated by adding all of the values and dividing that sum by the number of values you added. To take advantage of the way data is being collected, I am grouping the addends as, for example, 5(1), instead of writing out 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1.

\A CLASS mean is:

B CLASS mean is:

Based on these findings, we can conclude that the mean for Mrs. Ramos' class is about 2 more than the mean for Mr. McIntyre's class.

Answer 2

2

Explanation:

The range of class A is 5-0 = 5

The range of class B is 3-0 = 3

the difference between 3 and 5 is 2.
