Question

The dot plots below show the weights of the players of two teams: Based on visual inspection of the dot plots, which team appears to have the larger mean weight? Not enough information is available to draw a conclusion. Both groups are similar. Team C Team D

Answer 1

Team c it has more of its players weighing more than 126

Answer 2

Team C appears to have the larger mean weight.

Explanation:

After seeing the dot plot of two teams i.e. Team C and Team D the conclusion that can be drawn regarding the larger mean of the team is that:

Team C is expected to have larger mean since the dots are for the higher values of weights and hence will result in higher mean. whereas for team D the dots or frequencies are for smaller weights and hence will result in a less mean as compared to team C.

Hence, Team C appears to have the larger mean weight.
