Answer 1

From the dot plot data provided, we can see the number of goals Julieta scored in each season:

- 43 goals: 1 season
- 44 goals: 3 seasons
- 45 goals: 2 seasons
- 46 goals: 0 seasons (there are no dots above 46)
- 47 goals: 1 season

To find the fewest goals that Julieta scored in a season, we look for the lowest value on the horizontal axis where there is at least one dot. The lowest value represented is 43 goals.

Therefore, the fewest goals that Julieta scored in a season is:

**43 goals**.
