Question

Create a dot plot using the data below. How many dots did you place above 2?
6, 8, 9, 4, 3, 2, 4, 4, 3, 5, 7, 6, 9, 8, 4, 3.

Answer 1

To create a dot plot using the data you've provided, we will first summarize the values and count the occurrences of each number.

Given data:
6, 8, 9, 4, 3, 2, 4, 4, 3, 5, 7, 6, 9, 8, 4, 3

Now, let's count the occurrences of each number:

- 2: •
- 3: •••
- 4: ••••
- 5: •
- 6: ••
- 7: •
- 8: ••
- 9: ••

Now, representing this in a dot plot:

```
2: •
3: •••
4: ••••
5: •
6: ••
7: •
8: ••
9: ••
```

Now to address your question about how many dots are placed above 2.

The numbers above 2 in the dataset are 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9.

Counting the dots:
- 3 has 3 dots
- 4 has 4 dots
- 5 has 1 dot
- 6 has 2 dots
- 7 has 1 dot
- 8 has 2 dots
- 9 has 2 dots

Now adding these together:
3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 2 = 15

Therefore, there are **15 dots** placed above 2 in the dot plot.
