To provide accurate information regarding the mean and median of a data set from a dot plot, I would need to see the actual dot plot or have the data points listed. However, I can guide you through the process of estimating the mean and median.

  1. Estimating the Mean:

    • Add all the values together.
    • Divide by the total number of values.
  2. Estimating the Median:

    • Arrange the values in ascending order.
    • If the number of values is odd, the median is the middle number. If even, it is the average of the two middle numbers.

Once you calculate both the mean and median, you can compare them to answer the question about their relationship:

  • If the mean is equal to the median, you would choose the first option.
  • If the mean is greater than the median, you would choose the third option.
  • If the mean is less than the median, you would choose the fourth option.
  • If there is no median, the second option would apply, but this situation is very rare as most datasets have a median.

Please provide the data or describe the dot plot for a more specific analysis.
