Question

The students in Class A and Class B were asked how many pets they each have. The dot plots below show the results. Students in Class A A dot plot titled Students in Class A. A number line going from 0 to 5 labeled Number of pets. There are 5 dots above 0, 5 above 1, 4 above 2, 1 above 3, and 0 above 4 and 5. Students in Class B A dot plot titled Students in Class B. A number line going from 0 to 5 labeled Number of pets. There is 1 dot above 0, 2 above 1, 2 above 2, 4 above 3, 3 above 4, 3 above 5. What is the difference between the ranges in the dot plots? 0 2 3 4

Answer 1

Answer:

• The difference between the ranges in the dot plots is 2.

Explanation:

For better understanding, I attach a figure with the two dot plots described.

The range is the difference between the highest o rmaximum value and the lowest or minimum value.

1. Students in Class A.

The minimum value for the Students in Class A is 0 pets (the value to the extreme left of the numbered line, that contains, at least, one point) and the maximum is 3 (the value to the extreme right of the numbered line that contains, at least, one point).

• Range = 3 - 0 = 3

2. Students in Class B.

The minimum value for the Students in Class B is 0 pets (the value to the extreme left of the numbered line that contains, at least, one point) and the maximum is 5 (the value to the extreme right of the numbered line that contains, at least, one point).

• Range = 5 - 0 = 5

3. Difference between the ranges

• The difference between the ranges in the dot plots is 5 - 3 = 2.

Answer 2

Answer:

2

Step-by-step 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.
