To determine which graph has a larger average deviation, we would need to analyze the distribution of scores shown in each dot plot. Average deviation is a measure of how much scores differ from the average score. Higher spreads in scores (values further away from the mean) result in a larger average deviation.

Without the actual data points or any visual representation of the distributions within each graph, it's impossible to accurately quantify the average deviation for either graph. Thus, based on the information provided, the best answer would be:
