To determine which statements are true based on the data in the dot plot, we would need to visualize the plot itself. However, we can analyze the statements for clarity in general:
-
The spread is from 1 to 5. - This statement is true if the smallest and largest values in the dot plot are indeed 1 and 5, respectively.
-
There were 14 commercial breaks. - This can be true if the total count of dots representing commercial breaks equals 14.
-
There is a peak at 5. - This statement is true if the highest frequency of dots (most common data value) is at the value of 5.
-
The center is 3. - This is likely true if the median or mode of the data appears to be 3, but we would need to see the data distribution to confirm.
-
There were 12 commercial breaks. - Similar to statement 2, this is true only if the total count of dots is 12.
-
There are no gaps in the data. - This would be true if every value between 1 and 5 has a dot corresponding to it.
To accurately select the three true statements, you would need to analyze the dot plot directly. Based on typical characteristics of a dot plot, you would generally focus on identifying the total count, the spread, and whether there is a peak, as these contribute to understanding the data distribution. If the data presents a peak at 5 and the total count is confirmed as 14, for instance, then such statements could be considered true.
