To determine which dot plot shows an interquartile range (IQR) of 2 pounds, we need to understand what the interquartile range is. The IQR is the difference between the first quartile (Q1) and the third quartile (Q3), which means we need to find the values of Q1 and Q3 in each dot plot, and then calculate Q3 - Q1.
Since I don't have visual access to the dot plots A, B, C, and D, I can guide you on how to identify the correct one:
1. **Identify the Quartiles**:
- **Q1** is the median of the lower half of the data (the 25th percentile).
- **Q3** is the median of the upper half of the data (the 75th percentile).
2. **Calculate the IQR**:
- Once you have both Q1 and Q3, subtract Q1 from Q3 (IQR = Q3 - Q1).
- Look for the plot where this difference equals 2 pounds.
3. **Check Each Plot**:
- Examine each dot plot carefully, paying attention to how many dots fall in each range of weights.
- Look for the values at Q1 and Q3 for each plot.
Once you perform this analysis, you should be able to identify which dot plot corresponds to an IQR of 2 pounds. If you provide specific details about the dot plots or their values, I can help you calculate the IQR based on that information.
