Question

martin kept track of the number of times he had to flip a coin before it landed tails up.
number of flips to land tails up
dot plot with dots at 1:1, 2:4, 3:2, 4:6, 5:5
which is a true statement about the dot plot?
○ six times it took 4 flips of the coin to land tails up.
○ twice it took 4 flips of the coin to land tails up.
○ it took 6 flips of the coin to land tails up more often than any other number of flips.
○ the greatest number of flips it took to land tails up was 6.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the dot plot for "4 flips"

Count the number of dots above the value 4 on the dot plot. From the plot, we can see there are 6 dots above 4.

Step2: Evaluate each option

• Option 1: "Six times it took 4 flips of the coin to land tails up." – Matches the count of dots above 4 (6 dots mean 6 times).
• Option 2: "Twice it took 4 flips..." – Incorrect, as we counted 6 dots, not 2.
• Option 3: "It took 6 flips... more often..." – The dot plot's x - axis only goes up to 5, so this is incorrect.
• Option 4: "The greatest number of flips... was 6." – The x - axis maximum is 5, so this is incorrect.

Answer:

Six times it took 4 flips of the coin to land tails up.
