6.SP.A.2 Tutor Intake -- Reading a Distribution

This short check helps your tutor see where to start. Work on your own,
without a calculator. If you're unsure, give your best try — the goal is
to find what to work on together, not to grade you.

Concepts

A dot plot's number-line axis runs from 50 to 66, so the axis's
middle point is 58. But almost all of the dots are clustered
between 52 and 56. Where is this distribution's CENTER?

58, because that's the middle of the axis.

Around 52 to 56, because that's where the dots pile up.

66, because that's the highest labeled value on the axis.

There's no way to tell without computing a number.
