Question

The two dot plots below compare the forearm lengths of two groups of schoolchildren: Two dot plots are shown one below the other. The title for the top dot plot is Forearm Length, Group X and the title for the bottom plot is Forearm Length, Group Y. Below the line for each dot plot is written Length in inches. There are markings from 10 to 13 on each line at intervals of one. For the top line there are 4 dots above the first mark, 4 dots above the second mark, and 2 dots above the third mark. For the bottom line there are 2 dots above the second mark, 2 dots above the third mark, and 6 dots above the fourth mark. Based on the visual inspection of the dot plots, which group appears to have the longer average forearm length? Group X, because no child in the group has a forearm length longer than 12 inches. Group X, because four children in the group have the least forearm length of 10 inches. Group Y, because a child in the group has the least forearm length of 10 inches. Group Y, because six children have a forearm length longer than 12 inches.

Answer 1

The group that have the longer average forearm length is group Y, because six children have a forearm length longer than 12 inches.

Which group has a longer forearm length?

A dot plot is a graph that shows the frequency of a number using dots. The greater the number of dots above a number, the greater its frequency.

In group X, the highest arm length is 12 while in group Y, it is 13. This means that group Y would have longer arm lengths.
