Final answer:
A dot plot is created by organizing the given data set in ascending order and then placing dots above the corresponding numbers on a number line to represent each occurrence of a pulse rate.
Explanation:
To represent the pulse rate of goats at a farm, a dot plot is most suitable. This data set consists of pulse rates: 75, 76, 77, 76, 77, 76, 78, 75, 78, 76, 79, 76, 78, 76, 77, 76. First, we organize the data in ascending order and then place a dot for each occurrence of a pulse rate above the corresponding number on a number line.
Here's an example of how the dot plot should look:
- 75: ••
- 76: ••••••••
- 77: •••
- 78: •••
- 79: •
Each dot represents one occurrence of a pulse rate in the dataset. The dot plot clearly shows that the most common pulse rate is 76, as it has the most dots above it.
