To determine the correct dataset that corresponds to the dot plot presented on the number line, we need to analyze the open circles above each number:
- Above 86: 1 open circle
- Above 87: 4 open circles
- Above 88: 0 open circles
- Above 89: 6 open circles
- Above 90: 4 open circles
Now, we need to find the table that matches the counts based on the above observations:
-
First Table:
- 86: 0
- 87: 4
- 88: 1
- 89: 6
- 90: 4 (Does not match)
-
Second Table:
- 86: 1
- 87: 4
- 88: 0
- 89: 6
- 90: 4 (Matches)
-
Third Table:
- 86: 1
- 87: 4
- 88: 0
- 89: 6
- 90: 3 (Does not match)
-
Fourth Table:
- 86: 1
- 87: 4
- 88: 0
- 89: 6
- 90: 5 (Does not match)
Thus, the correct dataset that Mel used for his dot plot is based on the Second Table, which corresponds accurately to the number of dots for each numerical value.
Answer: This table provides the numerical information and the corresponding number of dots for the dot plot. Numerical Information Number of Dots 86 1 87 4 88 0 89 6 90 4.
