Answer 1

To create a dot plot using the provided dataset, each score will be represented by a number of dots corresponding to the number of students who achieved that score.

Here’s how the dot plot would look for the scores:

• Score 45: • • • • • • • • • • (10 dots)
• Score 46: • • • • • • • (7 dots)
• Score 47: • • • • (4 dots)
• Score 48: • • • • • • • • (8 dots)
• Score 49: • • • (3 dots)
• Score 50: • (1 dot)

Now, the question asks how many dots will be above the number 47 in the dot plot. On the dot plot:

• There are 4 dots above the number 47 (because there are 4 students who scored 47).

So, the correct answer is 4.
