Question

question 32 of 40
the applicants for a soccer coaching position were asked how many years of
coaching experience they had. here are the results:
1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 4, 4, 5, 6, 6, 8, 8, 8, 10
on a piece of paper, draw a dot plot to represent the data. then determine
which answer choice matches the dot plot you drew.

Explanation:

Step1: Count the frequency of each data value

• For \(1\): frequency \(= 1\)
• For \(2\): frequency \(= 4\)
• For \(4\): frequency \(= 2\)
• For \(5\): frequency \(= 1\)
• For \(6\): frequency \(= 3\)
• For \(8\): frequency \(= 3\)
• For \(10\): frequency \(= 1\)

Step2: Analyze each option

• Option A: Incorrect frequency for \(6\) (should be \(3\) dots, but in A for \(6\) there are \(2\) dots)
• Option B: Incorrect frequency for \(6\) (should be \(3\) dots, but in B for \(6\) there is \(1\) dot)
• Option C: Incorrect frequency for \(1\) (should be \(1\) dot, but in C for \(1\) there are \(2\) dots)
• Option D: Correctly represents the frequencies: \(1\) dot for \(1\), \(4\) dots for \(2\), \(2\) dots for \(4\), \(1\) dot for \(5\), \(3\) dots for \(6\), \(3\) dots for \(8\), \(1\) dot for \(10\)

Answer:

D.
