Answer 1

To create a dot plot for the given dataset, we represent each score by the number of dots equal to the number of students who achieved that score.

The given data is as follows:

• Score 45: 10 students → 10 dots
• Score 46: 7 students → 7 dots
• Score 47: 4 students → 4 dots
• Score 48: 8 students → 8 dots
• Score 49: 3 students → 3 dots
• Score 50: 1 student → 1 dot

In the dot plot, we only need to count the dots that would be above the number 47:

• For the score of 45, there are 10 dots.
• For the score of 46, there are 7 dots.
• For the score of 47, there are 4 dots (but we do not count these since we want dots above 47).
• For the score of 48, there are 8 dots.
• For the score of 49, there are 3 dots.
• For the score of 50, there is 1 dot.

Now, to find how many dots are above the number 47, we sum the dots for the scores above 47:

• Score 48: 8 dots
• Score 49: 3 dots
• Score 50: 1 dot

Adding these together:
8 (for score 48) + 3 (for score 49) + 1 (for score 50) = 12 dots

Thus, the answer is 12 dots above the number 47 in the dot plot. However, it seems that this response is not listed in your options provided. Could you please check if any choices were omitted or clarify further?
