To estimate the mean of the data in the dot plot, you would typically follow these steps:

  1. Count the Total Number of Data Points: This is done by counting the dots for each number on the number line.
  2. Calculate the Sum of All Data Points: Multiply each number by the number of dots (data points) it represents and sum those values.
  3. Divide the Sum by the Total Number of Points: This gives you the mean.

Since I don't have access to the image or specific data from the dot plot, I can't calculate the exact mean. However, if you can provide the counts for each number from the dot plot, I can help you calculate the mean more accurately.

If you want to choose one of the provided responses based on a typical assumption, the mean is often around the middle of a set of numbers. Without the specific data from the dot plot, I cannot definitively tell you which answer is correct. Please check the counts again on the plot.
