Since the median mass for Aalia's sample is greater than the median mass of Tasneem's sample, we need to look for a dot plot where the dots are generally higher on the y-axis compared to Tasneem's data.
Based on the given data, the median for Tasneem's data is 47.15. Aalia's data should have a median higher than 47.15.
Therefore, the correct dot plot representing Aalia's data would be option D.
Tasneem has a sample of 12 bags of candy. She recorded the mass, in grams, of each bag. Her data is shown.
46.6, 46.7, 46.7, 46.8, 46.8, 47.1, 47.2, 47.3, 47.5, 47.9, 48, 48.1
