Question

making a dot plot
number of amusement park visits
you asked amusement park visitors the question how many amusement parks have you visited this summer? the tally table shows the results.
which number line would be best to use to create a dot plot of the set of data?
o a number line from 0 to 4
o a number line from 1 to 5
o a number line from 2 to 7
o a number line from 0 to 7

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the data range

The data values in the "Visits" column are \(1\), \(2\), \(3\), \(4\), \(5\).

Step2: Check each number - line option

• Option 1: A number line from \(0\) to \(4\) does not include \(5\).
• Option 2: A number line from \(1\) to \(5\) includes all the data values (\(1\), \(2\), \(3\), \(4\), \(5\)).
• Option 3: A number line from \(2\) to \(7\) has an unnecessary large range at the lower - end (excludes \(1\) which is in the data).
• Option 4: A number line from \(0\) to \(7\) has a very large unnecessary range.

Answer:

A number line from \(1\) to \(5\)
