Problem

Classify the dot plot with counts \({1:1,2:2,3:4,4:2,5:1}\). Report its modality, symmetry or skew, gaps, visual outliers, and supporting frequency evidence.

Source statistical display: Which complete classification correctly describes a dot plot with counts {1:1,2:2,3:4,4:2,5:1}? No requested comparison or classification is annotated.

Big Picture

What this problem is really about

Read a dot plot as a frequency pattern, not just a cloud of marks. Locate any tallest stack, compare counts at values equally far from a possible center, and scan the occupied values for breaks or isolated points so each shape claim has visible evidence.

Answer choices

Choose your path.

Preview only

modality=unimodal with mode3; skew=right-skewed; gaps=none from1–5; visual outliers=5; evidence=counts are treated as trailing upward from1 to5

modality=unimodal with mode3; symmetry=symmetric/mound-shaped about3; gaps=none from1–5; visual outliers=none; evidence=counts pair 1↔5 as1, 2↔4 as2, with peak4 at3

modality=unimodal with mode3; skew=left-skewed; gaps=none from1–5; visual outliers=none; evidence=paired counts1↔5 and2↔4 are treated as left skew

modality=all values tied; uniformity=uniform; gaps=1–5; visual outliers=none; evidence=unequal counts1,2,4,2,1 are treated as equal
