It is better to do a dot plot because it is easier to read. Better to do a box and whisker plot is because it shows the more data to whatever side.

I think that the benefit of a dot plot is that it is much easier to describe than a BAW. I think that the benefits of a BAW is that you can read it easier.

When you are looking for a skewed dot plot it is easy to spot. You can figure it out by seeing if both sides of the data is symmetrical. To find out if a box-and-whisker plot you also see if everything is symmetrical.

Some benefits of line plots are you can easily tell if it's shewed or not. Some benefits of a BAW is you can easily find the mean.

The dot plot is easier to see whether or not the data is skewed. The box-and-whisker plot is easier to see if the data is symmetrical.

When looking for a skewed dot plot it is easy to see. You can figure it out by seeing if both sides of the data is symmetrical. To find out if a box-and-whisker plot you can see if everything is symmetrical as well as the skewed plot.

When you display data in a line plat you can see how many there are of a number. When you display data on a box-and-whisker plot you can only look at the minimum. maximum, median, and 1/2 quartiles.

The benefit of displaying data in a line plot versus a box-and-whisker plot is that it is easer to get the answers like if it is skewed or right or left or anything else.

I think you can tell the shape easier in line plot, but box-and-whisker you can see the spread easier.

The benifits of a box and whisper plot versus a dot plot could be that then it would be easier to deturman is the data is normanl or skwed.

Frank

The dot one is a whole lot better. So you can find out if it is skewed or normal.

Max

The benefits of using a line plot is that you can easily see is it is skewed or not.

using the line plot, is that if it has been skewed or not.

WyattB

It is easier to tell what it is and easier to make. It is easier to see what its for.

Calvin H

5/16/2017 08:15:56 am

It is easier to tell what it is and easier to see the data and what it is cart.

Ashlyn

In a dot plot you can see if it is a normal distribution or a skewed easier while it is harder to tell with a box and whisker plot.

Taylor

5/16/2017 08:19:16 am

Some benefits of having a dot plot or a box-and-whisker plot are that you can see if the data is skewed or normal. You can see the spread of the data better as well.

Kyra

It is easier to understand a dot plot because you can easily see if it is normal or skewed.

Emily

The benefits of displaying your data in a box and whisker plot and dot plot is that if you use a dot plot, it is easier to see if the data set is skewed or normal but with a box and whisker plot, it is harder to tell.

Katrina

A line plot is a better way to show data because it show all of the values.

Lily

5/16/2017 08:32:23 am

The benefits of a dot plot is that you can see how many of one number there are. The benefits of a box-and-whisker is that you can easily tell if it is skewed and you can see the spread of the data.

Riley Cammers

With a dot plot it is easier to see all the data but with a box and whisker plot it is easier to find the median.

Savanna

The benefits of dot plot is that it is easier to see the normal or the skewed side.

line plots have a different form of showing so does box and whisker plots

dot plots make it easy to see how many of what # thare is as a wisker plot you can find the mean faster

Eli

The benefit of a line plot is you can easily see the arch in data when the set is normal. The benefit of a Box-and-Whisker Plot is that you can easily see if the box and whiskers are symmetrical.

Kayla

Line Plots help us see if the data is normal or skewed and the box and whisker plots make it easier and faster to find the mean.

Jayden

5/16/2017 11:44:32 am

The skewed is the easiest to find.

Johnnie

5/16/2017 11:45:03 am

I think it is easier to see the data in the line plot than in a box and whisker plot.

Dakota

It is easy to see the data in a box and whisker box

Randallen

The benefit of of displaying data in a dot plot versus a box-and-whisker plot because it is easier to tell if it is normal. With a Box and Whisker plot it is easier to tell if it is skewed.

Ava Pesch

The benefits of a data plot is that you can always tell the mean, median, and mode if it is normal. The box-and-whisker plot you can tell if its equal, skewed to the right, or skewed to the left.

Kaitlyn Baxter

The benefit of of displaying data in a dot plot versus a box-and-whisker plot because you can always find the mean median and mead by using the dots but if you use a box and whisker you cant always find the mean median and mad

hi past self

Dot plots are easier to read and more people understand a dot plot then a box and whisker plot. With a box and whisker plot it is easier to understand for a sixth grade math student.

dayne

the dot plot is a easier thing to use and less confusing.

Katie

5/16/2017 12:47:17 pm

1: A line plot is more visual and easier to set up
2: A box-and-whisker plot allows you to see if it's going ore to the left or more to the right, and it's easier to compare with other box-and-whisker blots.

1) In a line plot, it is easier to see if the data is symmetrical.

2) In a box-and-whisker plot, it is easier to compare data and comprehend whether the median, mean and mode are equivalent.

Rachel

In the dot plot it is easier to see because you can check if it is symmetrical in height. In the box-and-whisker it is easier because you can see if it is symmetrical in length.

Raegan

A dot plot makes it easier to see the measures of center. (mean median mode) A box and whisker plot make it easier to see how spread out the data is.

Avery

5/16/2017 03:52:04 pm

It has less steps to a data set. It has more details and easier to read the data.

Marin Bragg

5/16/2017 06:06:08 pm

Box-and-whisker plots are easier to compare data to find the mean, median, and mode to determine if they're equivalent.
Line plots are easier to determine if the data is skewed or normal.

Treyton

The benefits of the line blot are that you can easily see the data and if it is normal or skewed/not normal. The benefits of the Box and whisker is that you cant find the min, max, and median easily.
