Question

A group of students created a dot plot of their heights. Based on the dot plot, find the mean and median height of the students in this class to show that the two measures are different in this skewed data set. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

To calculate the mean and median heights from a dot plot, we need the actual data values from the plot. Since the data points are not provided in your request, I will guide you on how to find the mean and median heights based on the dot plot you have.

1. **Finding the Mean:**
- Add all the heights together.
- Count the total number of students.
- Divide the total height by the number of students to get the mean.

Formula:
\[
\text{Mean} = \frac{\text{Sum of Heights}}{\text{Number of Students}}
\]

2. **Finding the Median:**
- Arrange the heights in numerical order.
- If there is an odd number of students, the median is the middle number.
- If there is an even number of students, the median is the average of the two middle numbers.

Steps:
- Sort the heights in ascending order.
- Identify the middle value(s).

Once you have completed these calculations, round your final results to the nearest tenth.

If you share specifics from the dot plot (like a list of heights or counts), I can help calculate the exact mean and median for you!
