To analyze the statements based on the provided data about team sizes, let's summarize the number of teams for each group size:

  • 3 people: Teams B and I (2 dots)
  • 5 people: Teams D, H, and J (3 dots)
  • 6 people: Team E (1 dot)
  • 7 people: Teams A, C, F, and K (4 dots)
  • 8 people: Team G (1 dot)

Now, let's evaluate the statements:

  1. The greatest value with a dot above it is 11.

    • False. The maximum team size is 8, so there cannot be a dot above 11.
  2. There will be 11 dots in total.

    • False. The total number of dots is 2 (for 3) + 3 (for 5) + 1 (for 6) + 4 (for 7) + 1 (for 8) = 11 dots.
  3. There will be 4 more dots above 7 than above 8.

    • False. There are 4 dots above 7 and 1 dot above 8, which is exactly 3 more dots, not 4.
  4. There will be 5 dots above 7.

    • False. There are 4 dots above 7.

After analyzing the statements, the correct answer is that there will be a total of 11 dots.

Correct Statement: "There will be 11 dots in total."
