A line plot named "Books Read" shows a number line from 7 to 15. The number line is divided into 8 equal parts. There is 1 dot on 7, 3 dots on 9, 2 dots on 10, 6 dots on 12, 5 dots on 13, 2 dots on 14, and 1 dot on 15.
Manu looked at the line plot and said, "The number of books with the most dots is 12 books, so that is the greatest number of books read over the summer." Is Manu correct? Explain.

No, Manu is not correct. He should look for the greatest data value on the number line that has any dots above it. This value is the greatest number of books read.
No, Manu is not correct. He should look for the greatest data value on the number line that has any dots above it. This value is the greatest number of books read.
No, Manu is not correct. He should count the total number of dots to find the greatest number of books read.
No, Manu is not correct. He should count the total number of dots to find the greatest number of books read.
No, Manu is not correct. He should multiply each data value by the number of dots above it. Then he should add these results to find the greatest number of books read.

In this case, the greatest number of books read is 15, as it is the highest value listed on the number line with a dot above it, even though 12 has the most dots (6 dots). The question is asking for the greatest number of books read, not the most common.
