D
There are more birds that have a wing length of 52 millimeters than birds that have a wing length of 51 millimeters.

Answer 1

I can’t see the dot plot clearly from your description. Could you either upload the image or type the wing-length values (or the number of dots at each labeled value)?

If you want to check it yourself, here’s how:
- Count the total number of dots (should be 10).
- For A: count dots at values less than 50; if more than 5, A is true.
- For B: compare the number of dots at 54 with the number at 46.
- For C: count dots at values greater than 48; if fewer than 5, C is true.
- For D: compare the number of dots at 52 with the number at 51.

Send the counts (or a clear picture) and I’ll tell you which statement is supported.
