Since I cannot see the dot plot you've referenced, I can help you analyze the statements based on typical interpretations of a dot plot. Here is how to evaluate each statement based on what you might see in a dot plot:

  1. The most cupcakes a person bought was 8.

    • This would be true if the highest number represented in the dot plot is indeed 8. You would need to see if there are any dots above 8.
  2. There are people that came to the bake sale and did not buy a cupcake.

    • This would be true if there is no representation (i.e., no dots) for the quantity of 0 cupcakes bought.
  3. Every person bought between 1 and 5 cupcakes.

    • This would be true if all the dots in the plot fall within the range of 1 to 5.
  4. More people bought 5 cupcakes than any other number of cupcakes.

    • This would be true if the number of dots above 5 is greater than those above any other number on the plot.

To determine the correct statement, please examine the dot plot according to these guidelines. The true statement will be the one that accurately reflects the data shown.
