Answer 1

To determine the correct statement about the dot plot, we would need to analyze the information presented in the plot. However, since I cannot see the dot plot directly, I can help you deduce the answer based on the options provided.

1. "There are people that came to the bake sale and did not buy a cupcake." - This statement is likely false unless the plot explicitly shows zeros or gaps indicating people who bought no cupcakes.

2. "The most cupcakes a person bought was 8." - This is only true if the dot plot shows 8 represented as the maximum count.

3. "Every person bought between 1 and 5 cupcakes." - This can only be true if the dot plot does not show any counts exceeding 5.

4. "More people bought 5 cupcakes than any other number of cupcakes." - This can only be true if the count for 5 cupcakes is greater than the counts for other amounts.

Given the context:

- If you see the number "8" represented in the plot, then the second statement is true.
- If counts for all purchases only range between 1 to 5, then the third statement is true.
- If the number of dots for 5 cupcakes is larger than those for other amounts, the fourth statement is the truth.

Without visual access to the plot, you can evaluate these statements by checking the respective counts in the dot plot you have. Please check the dot plot carefully to identify which statement is true!
