Question

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?
(1 point)
Cats, because the range of their weights is less
than that of small dogs.
Small dogs, because the range of their weights is
less than that of cats.
Cats, because the range of their weights is greater
than that of small dogs.
Small dogs, because the range of their weights is
greater than that of cats.

Cats, because the range of their weights is less than that of small dogs.

This is because the dot plot of cats shows a more concentrated distribution of weights compared to small dogs. This indicates that cats have less variability in their weights, as the range of weights is smaller for cats than for small dogs.
