Without the actual image of the dot plot, I am unable to provide a definitive answer based on the visual data. However, I can guide you on how to analyze the dot plot to determine which statement is correct.

  1. Minimum and Maximum Hours: To verify the first two statements, look for the leftmost dot (the minimum) and the rightmost dot (the maximum) on the dot plot. Count the hours corresponding to those positions.

  2. Number of Students in Each Category: To assess the statements comparing the number of students who studied three hours or less versus those who studied four hours or more, you will need to count the number of dots to the left of the "3-hour" mark and compare that to the number of dots at or to the right of the "4-hour" mark.

  3. Comparison of Groups: The last statement requires you to count the total number of students who studied for more than three hours and compare that to the total who studied for less than three hours.

Based on your analysis of the dot plot's data distribution, you will be able to select the correct statement. If you can provide the counts or distribution data, I would be happy to assist further.
