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 the distributions, which animal has the least variability in their weights? Why

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

b. cats, because the range of their weights is greater than that of small dogs.

c. small dogs, because the range of their weights is greater than that of small dogs.

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

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

By looking at the dot plots, it appears that the range of weights for cats is smaller than the range of weights for small dogs. This indicates that cats have less variability in their weights compared to small dogs.
