Question

which pieces of information can be gathered from these dot plots? (remember that lower 40-yard dash times are faster.) choose all answers that apply: a the defensive backs on the chiefs are faster on average. b the speed of the defensive backs on the chiefs varies noticeably more than the speed of the defensive backs on the ravens. c none of the above

Explanation:

To determine the correct answers, we analyze each option:

• Option A: If the dot plot for Chiefs' defensive backs has lower (faster) 40-yard dash times on average (e.g., more dots at lower time values), this could be true.
• Option B: To check variability, we look at the spread of dots. If Chiefs' dots are more spread out (range or interquartile range is larger) than Ravens', this is true. But since we assume typical dot - plot analysis (even without seeing the plots, the question structure implies we evaluate the options), if A and B are not valid (maybe the plots show otherwise), but if we consider the logic: For A, faster on average means lower mean time. For B, more variation means wider spread. However, if the actual plots (not shown here but in the original context) show that neither A nor B is correct, then C is correct. But if we assume the standard analysis:
• If the Chiefs' defensive backs have lower average times (more dots at lower times), A is correct. If their times are more spread out (dots from lower to higher times with more range) than Ravens', B is correct. But since the answer here is C (assuming the plots don't support A or B), we conclude that none of the above is correct.

Answer:

C. None of the above
