A number line shows student height in inches ranging from 60 to 66 in increments of 1 with arrows on both the ends.
It shows circles placed vertically above each number as follows: 2 circles over 60; 3 circles over 61; 6 circles over 62; 4 circles over 63; 1 circle over 64; 6 circles over 65; and 5 circles over 66.

You surveyed your friends to determine their heights in inches. Use the dot plot to determine how many of your friends are 63 inches or taller.

To determine how many of your friends are 63 inches or taller, we can look at the data from the number line:

  • At 63 inches: 4 circles (friends)
  • At 64 inches: 1 circle (friends)
  • At 65 inches: 6 circles (friends)
  • At 66 inches: 5 circles (friends)

Now, we will add the number of circles (friends) for each height that is 63 inches or taller:

  • 63 inches: 4
  • 64 inches: 1
  • 65 inches: 6
  • 66 inches: 5

Adding these together:

4 (at 63) + 1 (at 64) + 6 (at 65) + 5 (at 66) = 16

Therefore, there are 16 friends who are 63 inches or taller.
