Question

which is a true statement about the dot plot? ages of players on a soccer team (dot plot with ages 10,11,12,13,14,15; dots: 10:1, 11:3, 12:0, 13:2, 14:1, 15:4) options: there are 11 players on the team. the same number of players are 11 years old as are 13 years old. no players are older than 10 years old. more players are 11 years old than any other age.

Explanation:

Step1: Count players per age

• Age 10: 1 dot → 1 player.
• Age 11: 3 dots → 3 players.
• Age 12: 0 dots → 0 players.
• Age 13: 2 dots → 2 players.
• Age 14: 1 dot → 1 player.
• Age 15: 4 dots → 4 players.

Step2: Evaluate each option

• Option 1: Total players = \(1 + 3 + 0 + 2 + 1 + 4 = 11\). This matches.
• Option 2: Age 11 (3) vs Age 13 (2) → Not same. Eliminate.
• Option 3: Players at 11,13,14,15 (all >10) exist. Eliminate.
• Option 4: Age 15 (4) > Age 11 (3). Eliminate.

Answer:

There are 11 players on the team. (The correct option is the first one: "There are 11 players on the team.")
