Use the image to answer the question.

A number line with arrows on both sides extends from 86 to 90 in increments of 1. It shows an abacus-like representation with open circles equally spaced in vertical rows above the numbers. There is one open circle above 86, four open circles above 87, no circles above 88, six open circles above 89, and four open circles above 90.

Mel creates this dot plot based on a numerical dataset. Which dataset did he use to get the information for his dot plot?

To determine which dataset Mel used to create his dot plot, we need to match the information shown in the dot plot with the datasets provided.

The dot plot information is as follows:

  • 86 has 1 dot
  • 87 has 4 dots
  • 88 has 0 dots
  • 89 has 6 dots
  • 90 has 4 dots

We can compare this data with the options provided:

  1. Option 1:

    • 86: 1
    • 87: 4
    • 88: 0
    • 89: 6
    • 90: 3
    • Does not match (90 should have 4 dots, not 3)
  2. Option 2:

    • 86: 0
    • 87: 4
    • 88: 1
    • 89: 6
    • 90: 4
    • Does not match (86 should have 1 dot, not 0)
  3. Option 3:

    • 86: 1
    • 87: 4
    • 88: 0
    • 89: 6
    • 90: 4
    • Matches perfectly with the dot plot!
  4. Option 4:

    • 86: 1
    • 87: 4
    • 88: 0
    • 89: 5
    • 90: 4
    • Does not match (89 should have 6 dots, not 5)

The correct answer is the third option, which corresponds exactly with the dot plot shown.

Answer: This table provides the numerical information and the corresponding number of dots for the dot plot. Numerical Information 86 1 87 4 88 0 89 6 90 4.
