Solution

The correct option is B Plot A > Plot B

Both plots have the same mean at 6.

Now, look for the distribution of the points on the straight line along the mean.

It can be observed that the dots on Plot A are more scattered than the dots on Plot B.

∴ Plot A shows more variation from its mean than Plot B.

Therefore, in the case of variation, we can compare the two plots as $P l o t A > P l o t B$
