To accurately evaluate which statement is correct regarding the two data sets represented by the dot plots, we would typically assess each option based on the information presented in the plots. However, since the actual data from the dot plots is not visible here, I can provide a guide on how to determine the validity of each statement:
A. **The median of the data is the same for both data sets.**
- To check this, calculate the median (the middle value when the data is ordered) for both data sets. If they are equal, this statement is true.
B. **The mode of the data is the same for both data sets.**
- The mode is the most frequently occurring value in each data set. Compare the modes of both data sets to determine if they are the same.
C. **The range of the data is the same for both data sets.**
- The range is found by subtracting the minimum value from the maximum value in each data set. If both ranges are equal, this statement is true.
D. **The distribution of the data is symmetrical for both data sets.**
- You need to observe the shape of the distribution in both dot plots. If both appear symmetrical, then this statement is true. If one or both are skewed, then this statement is false.
To determine the correct answer, you would need to analyze the dot plots based on these criteria. If you have specific values or details from the dot plots, feel free to share, and I can help further!
