Median of 14

Mode of 13 and 15

Range of 13

3. The is a measure of spread that describes the typical distance of data points from the mean within a cluster.

4. When a data set has multiple distinct clusters, it is often described as having a distribution.

5. Analyze the dot plot below, which shows the number of hours students spent studying for a math test. Identify any data clusters and outliers, and describe the distribution's shape.

6. A bimodal distribution indicates the presence of two distinct data clusters.

True

False

7. Outliers always significantly affect the median of a data set.

True

False

8. A scientist is studying the growth rates of two different plant species. She collects data on the height of each plant after 30 days. Describe how identifying data clusters could help her analyze and compare the growth patterns of the two species.
