Respuesta :

C. The mean of the data set is 8.

Answer:

The conclusion that can be drawn from the dot plot is: Option: C

C.  The mean of the data set is 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the dot plot we can make a frequency table as follows:

Number of books read                       Frequency

        6                                                       2  

        7                                                       2

        8                                                       2

        9                                                       2

        10                                                      2

  • Since, the number of dots are  10 or then sum of the frequencies is 10.

            Hence, the number of observations are 10.

  • Also, the median of the set is: 8
  • Now, the mean is calculated as:

[tex]Mean=\dfrac{6+6+7+7+8+8+9+9+10+10}{10}\\\\\\Mean=\dfrac{80}{10}\\\\Mean=8[/tex]

                   Hence, Mean of the data set is: 8

  • Now, the range of the data set is the difference between the minimum and the maximum value.

                   Hence, range=10-6=4

            The range of the data set is 4.
