Question

Students in Mr. Hill’s class were asked how many TV shows they watched last weekend. The results are shown on the line plot.

A line plot titled Amount of T V Watched. A number line goes from 0 to 7 and represents the number of T V Shows. There are 4 marks above 0, 2 marks above 1, 4 marks above 2, 3 marks above 3, 1 mark above 4, 2 marks above 5, 1 mark above 6, 3 marks above 7.

Which statement about the number of TV shows watched is accurate?
Half of the students watched fewer than two TV shows.
More than half of the students watched three or more TV shows.
Fewer than one-quarter of the students watched five or more TV shows.
Half of the students watched fewer than two shows or more than five shows.
A B C or D

Answer 1

D

There are 20 students total (4+2+4+3+1+2+1+3 = 20). Fewer than two shows = 0 or 1 = 4+2 = 6 students. More than five shows = 6 or 7 = 1+3 = 4 students. 6+4 = 10, which is half of 20, so statement D is correct.
