Question

you asked amusement park visitors the question \how many times did you ride the ferris wheel today?\ as they left the park. four people said they rode a ferris wheel 5 times. explain how this would be shown on a dot plot.

Explanation:

A dot plot is a statistical graph where each data point is represented by a dot. In this case, the number of rides (5) is the value on the horizontal axis. Since 4 people had 5 rides, we place 4 dots above the number 5 on the dot - plot.

Answer:

On the dot - plot, we would locate the value \(5\) on the horizontal axis (which represents the number of times the Ferris wheel was ridden). Then, we would place \(4\) dots above the number \(5\) to represent the \(4\) people who rode the Ferris wheel \(5\) times.
