Math Problem Statement
Solution
The problem asks to create a dot plot based on the ages of choir members listed:
19, 15, 24, 22, 16, 24, 23, 13, 20, 21, 21, 13.
Steps to Create the Dot Plot:
-
Organize the data:
Arrange the numbers in ascending order to make plotting easier:
13, 13, 15, 16, 19, 20, 21, 21, 22, 23, 24, 24. -
Draw a number line:
- Label the number line with all ages from the smallest (13) to the largest (24).
- Each number represents an age category.
-
Plot dots for each occurrence:
-
Count how many times each age appears in the data:
- 13 appears 2 times.
- 15 appears 1 time.
- 16 appears 1 time.
- 19 appears 1 time.
- 20 appears 1 time.
- 21 appears 2 times.
- 22 appears 1 time.
- 23 appears 1 time.
- 24 appears 2 times.
-
Place a dot above each number on the number line for every occurrence.

Tip:
In a dot plot, the height of the dots above each value indicates frequency, making it easy to spot trends or patterns in the data.
