b. Use your dot plot from part (a) to identify the modality and symmetry (or non-symmetry) of the distribution of these pages,

Short answer

a) The dot-plot is given.

b)Asymmetric image has the property that part of the curve is the mirror image of the other part of the curve.

Step-by-step solution

Part (a) Step 1: Given Information 

The data is given as :

Part (a) Step 2: Explanation 

The given data is :

In a dot plot, a dot is placed above the relevant number on the number line for each piece of data.

Part (b) Step 1: Given Information

To find the modality for given data.

Part (b) Step 2: Explanation 

The data is given as:

The number of data values that fall into a class is known as frequency.

The property of a symmetric picture is that one part of the curve is the mirror image of the other.
