To find the range of the dataset shown in the dot plot, you need to determine the minimum and maximum values represented in the dataset.

From the provided data:

  • The smallest value (minimum) is 4, which has a count of 0 dots.
  • The largest value (maximum) is 12, which also has a count of 0 dots.

The range is calculated using the formula:

\[ \text{Range} = \text{Maximum} - \text{Minimum} \]

Substituting the values we have:

\[ \text{Range} = 12 - 4 = 8 \]

Therefore, the range of the dataset is 8.
