Question

If no additional information was given, which display type would not show the number of observations?
bar graphs
box plots
dot plots
histograms

Answer 1

If no additional information is given, a **box plot** would typically not show the number of observations directly. Box plots summarize data by displaying quartiles and potential outliers but do not explicitly indicate how many data points contributed to the summary. In contrast, bar graphs, dot plots, and histograms can visually represent counts of observations or frequencies.
