Question

Drag each statement to the correct location on the table. Each statement can be used more than once.
Amelia creates three dot plots to record how many minutes she practices piano on different days in March, April, and May.

Drag each statement to the box in the table next to the dot plot it correctly describes.

The measure of
center is around
10-15 minutes.
The measure of
center is around
30 minutes.
The measure of
center is around
20 minutes.

Answer 1

I don’t see the three dot plots. Could you either upload an image of them or list the data values shown for March, April, and May (the number of minutes for each day)?

If you want to decide on your own, here’s a quick way to place the three statements:

1. For each dot plot, list the values (or just count how many dots are above each minute value).
2. Find the center:
- If you want a precise center, compute the median: order the values and pick the middle one (or the average of the two middle values if there’s an even number of data points).
- If you just need an estimate from the plot, look for where the dots are most clustered—this cluster location is the measure of center.
3. Match the cluster/median to the nearest statement:
- If the center is about 10–15, place “The measure of center is around 10–15 minutes.”
- If it’s about 20, place “The measure of center is around 20 minutes.”
- If it’s about 30, place “The measure of center is around 30 minutes.”
4. Remember statements can be reused if two plots have similar centers.

Send the plots or the data and I’ll place the correct statement for each month.
