In Lesson 1, Part A, we began collecting data for the number of cups of water that we drink each day. Let's analyze the plot of our data to help us identify the population mean. Part A: What does each dot on the class dotplot represent? Each dot symbolizes the average water consumption per person, measured in cup Describe what you consider to be the (a) center and (b) the overall distribution of the data. Does anything surprise you? 7.68 cups. To further analyze the data, you might consider plotting it on a histogram to visualize the distribution, checking for skewness, and identifying any outliers. The high frequency of the number 10 (appearing 6 times) is notable. The data includes both whole numbers and decimals, which might indicate a mixed type of data collection. How could we calculate the population mean of the data set? How does the calculated population mean compare with your estimate of the center of data on the dotplot from Part B? The calculated population mean (7.68) matches the mean calculated earlier, as we used the entire data set. This consistency confirms the accuracy of our calculations. 3) Compute your personal average (the mean of your
