Describing and Comparing Data with Dotplots and Stemplots

Question 11 • Mathematics for College Liberal Arts Sem 1 (1207350) BCPS 2025-26

Which statement is an advantage of displaying data using a histogram compared with a dotplot or stemplot?

Answer
A
You can display individual values.
B
You can precisely compute measures of center.
C
You can precisely compute variability.
D
You can choose bin width.

Explanation

A histogram groups values into intervals, and the person making it can choose the width of those bins. That flexibility is an advantage over dotplots and stemplots, which display individual data values rather than grouping them into chosen intervals. Because a histogram groups values, it does not show individual values precisely.
