Question

a random sample of 50 m&ms was selected, with the following color outcomes.
table with columns: green, yellow, red, blue, orange; 10 rows of color entries (e.g., blue, orange, blue, yellow, orange; ...; yellow, blue, orange, blue, yellow)
what graphical display would be best for summarizing these values?

○ a dotplot

○ a bar graph

Explanation:

The data consists of categorical values (M&M colors). A bar graph is used to display the frequency of categorical data, showing the count of each category (color) clearly. A dotplot is more suitable for numerical data or to show individual data points, while bar graphs are ideal for comparing the frequencies of different categories.

A bar graph
