Use the image to answer the question. A pizza franchise conducted a survey to determine the number of pizzas that a person ate last month in two cities. The results are displayed in the dot plots. Compare the spreads of City A and City B. What conclusions can you draw about the spreads? Option A: City A has a greater spread than City B. Option B: City B has a greater spread than City A. Option C: City A and City B have equal spreads. Enter 1 for Option A, 2 for Option B, or 3 for Option C. (1 point) Remaining Attempts : 3 Skip to navigation

I'm unable to see images, but I can help you understand how to compare the spreads in dot plots. To determine which city has a greater spread, you should look at the range of the data points:

  1. Spread refers to how much the data varies. It can be measured by looking at the distance between the minimum and maximum values in each city’s data.
  2. Simply identify the highest and lowest data points in each dot plot and calculate the range (maximum - minimum).
  3. If City A has a larger range than City B, then City A has a greater spread (Option A). If City B has a larger range, then it has the greater spread (Option B). If both ranges are equal, then they have equal spreads (Option C).

You can apply this approach to your dot plots to select the correct option.
