Math Problem Statement
How many students have a name with 6 letters? The graph represents the number of students with specific last name lengths using a dot plot.
Solution
The image shows a question about interpreting a dot plot labeled NAME LENGTH, which represents the number of students with a specific number of letters in their last names. The x-axis represents the number of letters (from 3 to 10), and the dots represent the number of students.
The question asks: How many students have a name with 6 letters?
From the dot plot:
- The column above "6" has 5 dots.
Thus, 5 students have names with 6 letters.
Would you like a detailed explanation of how to read the dot plot or explore related concepts?
Follow-up Questions:
- How can dot plots be used to summarize survey data?
- What are other types of visualizations for representing frequencies?
- How would the interpretation change if the question asked for names with "less than 6 letters"?
- How can you calculate the total number of students surveyed using the graph?
- What are the advantages of using a dot plot over a bar chart?
Tip:
When analyzing dot plots, remember that each dot corresponds to one observation or data point!
