Answer 1

To determine the number of observations in the dataset, we need to look at the number of entries in the table.

The table shows the following data for Tiphani’s hits:

- April 3: 4 hits
- April 4: 0 hits
- April 5: 3 hits
- April 6: 0 hits
- April 7: 1 hit
- April 8: 3 hits

There are 6 different game dates listed, which means there are 6 observations in the dataset, regardless of the number of hits.

Therefore, the correct statement is:

**"The table shows 6 observations because Tiphani played in 6 different games."**
