A. A dot plot going from 0 to 6. There are 3 dots above 0, 5 dots above 1, 4 dots above 2, 3 dots above 3, 2 dots above 4, 0 dots above 5, and 1 dot above 6.
B. Adot plot going from 0 to 6. There are 2 dots above 1, 3 dots above 2, and 1 dot above 5.
C. A dot plot going from 0 to 6. There is 1 dot above 0, 2 dots above 1, 1 dot above 2, 1 dot above 3, 1 dot above 4, 1 dot above 5, 2 dots above 6.
D. A dot plot going from 0 to 6. There is 1 dot above 1, 2 dots above 2, 3 dots above 3, 2 dots above 4, 1 dot above 5.
Answer:
The correct option is A
Step-by-step explanation:
To know which dot plot shows a sample that is most representative of the number of pets in a household, we count the number of dots in each option. Each dot represents a pet, and the plot with the most number of dots is the most representative of the number of pets.
A. A dot plot going from 0 to 6. There are 3 dots above 0, 5 dots above 1, 4 dots above 2, 3 dots above 3, 2 dots above 4, 0 dots above 5, and 1 dot above 6.
TOTAL: 18 dots
B. Adot plot going from 0 to 6. There are 2 dots above 1, 3 dots above 2, and 1 dot above 5.
TOTAL: 6 dots
C. A dot plot going from 0 to 6. There is 1 dot above 0, 2 dots above 1, 1 dot above 2, 1 dot above 3, 1 dot above 4, 1 dot above 5, 2 dots above 6.
TOTAL: 9 dots
D. A dot plot going from 0 to 6. There is 1 dot above 1, 2 dots above 2, 3 dots above 3, 2 dots above 4, 1 dot above 5.
TOTAL: 9 dots
