Question

the dot plot shows the number of cupcakes bought by each person who came to a bake sale. number of cupcakes bought dot plot with categories 0,1,2,3,4,5 and dots above them which is a true statement about the dot plot? every person bought at least 1 cupcake. the most cupcakes a person bought was 8. every person bought between 1 and 5 cupcakes.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze each option

• For "Every person bought at least 1 cupcake": Check the dot plot. There are dots at 0, so some people bought 0 cupcakes. So this is false.
• For "The most cupcakes a person bought was 8": The dot plot's x - axis goes up to 5, and the highest number of cupcakes bought (the rightmost dot) is at 5. So this is false.
• For "Every person bought between 1 and 5 cupcakes": Wait, no, there are dots at 0. Wait, maybe there's a typo or I misread. Wait, actually, looking at the dot plot, the values are 0,1,2,3,4,5. But the option "Every person bought between 1 and 5 cupcakes" is wrong? Wait, no, maybe the fourth option (not fully shown) or maybe I made a mistake. Wait, no, let's re - evaluate. Wait, the first option: "Every person bought at least 1 cupcake" is false because there are dots at 0 (people who bought 0 cupcakes). The second option: "The most cupcakes a person bought was 8" is false because the maximum on the dot plot is 5. The third option: "Every person bought between 1 and 5 cupcakes" is false because there are people who bought 0. Wait, maybe the question has a fourth option, but since the user's image shows part of it, maybe I missed. Wait, no, perhaps the intended correct option is that none of the first three are correct, but since the user's question is about the dot plot, let's assume that maybe there was a mistake in the options shown. Wait, no, maybe I misread the dots. Let's count the dots at each value:
• At 0: 3 dots (people who bought 0 cupcakes)
• At 1: 8 dots (people who bought 1 cupcake)
• At 2: 2 dots (people who bought 2 cupcakes)
• At 3: 5 dots (people who bought 3 cupcakes)
• At 4: 3 dots (people who bought 4 cupcakes)
• At 5: 1 dot (people who bought 5 cupcakes)

So "Every person bought at least 1 cupcake" is false (because of 0). "The most cupcakes a person bought was 8" is false (max is 5). "Every person bought between 1 and 5 cupcakes" is false (because of 0). But since the user's question is to find the true statement, maybe there is a fourth option, but since it's cut off, perhaps the intended correct analysis is that the first three are wrong, but since the user's problem is presented as is, maybe there was a mistake. Wait, no, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, the first option: "Every person bought at least 1 cupcake" – no, 0 is there. Second: "The most cupcakes a person bought was 8" – no, 5 is the max. Third: "Every person bought between 1 and 5 cupcakes" – no, 0 is there. So perhaps the correct answer is that none of the first three are correct, but since the user's question is about the dot plot, maybe the intended correct option is that the first three are incorrect, but since the user's image shows part of the question, maybe there was a typo.

Wait, maybe the user's question has a fourth option, but since it's not fully shown, I'll assume that based on the given options, none of the first three are correct, but perhaps the intended answer is that the statement "The most cupcakes a person bought was 5" (not in the options shown) but since the options shown are wrong, maybe the user made a mistake. Alternatively, maybe I misread the dots.

Wait, perhaps the original question had a different set of options. Given the information, the first three options are all false. But since the user's problem is to answer, maybe there was a mistake in the options provided.

Answer:

None of the first three options are true. (But since the user's question may have a fourth option, please check the full question. If we assume that there was a mistake and the intended correct option is related to the maximum being 5, but based on the given options, all first three are false.)
