For a geography project, you have surveyed the people in your hiking club and swimming
club to find the number of states they have visited. You make a table and dot plots to
show the results. Use the dot plots to compare the shapes and spreads of the dot plots.
What conclusions can you draw about the shapes and the spreads?
(1 point)
The swimming club has a greater spread than the hiking club. The hiking club is
symmetrical, and the swimming club is skewed left. The hiking club has a peak at 5. The
swimming club has peaks at 9 and 10.

1. Cats, because the range of their weights is less than that of small dogs.
2. 1 pound
3. Class 1 has a higher median than Class 2 by 1 mile.
4. Fertilizer B is generally more effective, because the mean and median weights of the potatoes that were treated with it are higher.
5. The swimming club has a greater spread than the hiking club. The hiking club is symmetrical, and the swimming club is skewed left. The hiking club has a peak at 5. The swimming club has peaks at 9 and 10.
The correct answer is: The swimming club has a greater spread than the hiking club. The hiking club is symmetrical, and the swimming club is skewed left. The hiking club has a peak at 5. The swimming club has peaks at 9 and 10.
From the dot plots, we can see that the swimming club has a wider range of states visited compared to the hiking club. The hiking club's dot plot is symmetrical, indicating a more evenly distributed number of states visited, while the swimming club's dot plot is skewed left, showing a concentration of members who have visited higher numbers of states. The hiking club has a peak at 5, suggesting that a significant number of members have visited 5 states, while the swimming club has peaks at 9 and 10, indicating that many members have visited these numbers of states.
