The dot plots show the weights of randomly selected cats and small dogs in different households. Based on an informal assessment of the visual overlap of these distributions, which animal has the least variability in their weights? Why?

Small dogs have the least variability in their weights because their dot plot is more condensed and does not spread out as much as the dot plot for cats. This suggests that there is less variation in the weights of small dogs compared to cats in the households sampled.

This is because the mode of the dot plot for cats is 9 pounds, and the mode of the dot plot for small dogs is 8 pounds. The difference between these two modes is 1 pound.
