An illustration shows a number line ranging from 1 to 5 in unit increments. Different numbers of open circles are placed vertically above each number in the number line. The number of circles above each number in the number line are as follows: 4 circles above 1, 2 circles above 2, 1 circle above 3, 0 circles above 4, and 1 circle above 5.

An illustration shows a number line ranging from 1 to 5 in unit increments. Different numbers of open circles are placed vertially above each number in the number line. The number of circles above each number in the number line are as follows: 3 circles above 1, 3 circles above 2, 1 circle above 3, 1 circle above 4, and 0 circles above 5.

Answer 1

Kris's dataset is the third option: "An illustration shows a number line ranging from 1 to 5 in unit increments. Different numbers of open circles are placed vertically above each number in the number line. The number of circles above each number in the number line are as follows: 3 circles above 1, 3 circles above 2, 1 circle above 3, 1 circle above 4, and 0 circles above 5." This dataset has a mean of 2, a spread of 3, and a skewed overall shape.
