Question

The dot plot has arrows at both ends and ranges from 0 to 8 in increments of 1. There are 3 dots above 0, 4 dots above 2, 2 dots above 3, 1 dot above 4, 1 dot above 5, 3 dots above 6, and 1 dot above 7. The remaining numbers have no dots above them.

The dot plot shows the number of hours spent studying for an assessment. Based on the data distribution, which of the following statements is correct?

(1 point)

The maximum number of hours spent studying is eight hours.

The minimum number of hours spent studying is one hour.

More students studied three hours or less than the number of students who studied four hours or more.

There are more people who studied for more than three hours than the number of students who studied for less than three hours.

Answer 1

Statement 3 is correct.

Counts: ≤3 hours = 3 (0) + 0 (1) + 4 (2) + 2 (3) = 9 students.
≥4 hours = 1 (4) + 1 (5) + 3 (6) + 1 (7) = 6 students.
So more students studied three hours or less (9) than four hours or more (6).
