Agroup of 22 students participated in a race. their scores are below: score (points) 45 67 89 1011 1213 number of students 3 5 8 4 2 would a dot plot or a histogram best represent the data presented here? why?

Histogram best represent the given data, because a large number of scores are reported as ranges.

Step-by-step explanation:

The scores of 22 student in a race is shown in the below table.

Score (points)           : 4-5    6-7    8-9     10-1112-13

Number of Students:  3        5        8          4           2

Dot plot represents the frequency of an individual.  In a dot plot, the height of the column of dots represents the frequency for that value. So, it is not use full  for high frequency.

Histogram represents the frequency of a group. It means the histogram represent the frequency of class intervals and the height of bar represents the frequency of that class interval.

The given data is a grouped data with height frequency.

Therefore, histogram best represent the given data, because a large number of scores are reported as ranges.
