Yuki wants a display that shows the spread of data above and below the median.

What data display should Yuki use?

A. A dot plot is best for displaying the spread of data above and below the median, so Yuki should use a dot plot.

B. Dot plots and box plots are best for displaying the spread of data above and below the median. For these data, the median is too large and close to the maximum, so Yuki should use a dot plot.

C. A box plot is best for displaying the spread of data above and below the median, so Yuki should use a box plot.

D. A histogram is best for displaying the spread of data above and below the median, so Yuki should use a histogram.

C. A box plot is best for displaying the spread of data above and below the median, so Yuki should use a box plot.

Step-by-step explanation:

Neither dot plot nor histogram shows the median of data, but box plot it does. Also, box plots show the how spread data is from minimum value to first quartile, from first quartile to median, from median to third quartile and from third quartile to maximum value.
