The table below shows the number of emails received each day by a company employee for two separate weeks. If the data were represented with a comparative dot plot, which day would have more dots for Week 2 than for Week 1?

| Day | Week 1 | Week 2 |
|-----------|--------|--------|
| Monday | 7 | 4 |
| Tuesday | 8 | 3 |
| Wednesday | 5 | 2 |
| Thursday | 9 | 7 |
| Friday | 6 | 9 |



Answer :

To determine which day would have more dots for Week 2 than for Week 1 on a comparative dot plot, you need to compare the number of emails received each day in Week 2 with the corresponding day in Week 1. Here is the step-by-step comparison for each day of the week:

- Monday: Week 1 has 7 emails, Week 2 has 4 emails. Since 4 (Week 2) is not more than 7 (Week 1), Monday does not qualify.

- Tuesday: Week 1 has 8 emails, Week 2 has 3 emails. Since 3 (Week 2) is not more than 8 (Week 1), Tuesday does not qualify.

- Wednesday: Week 1 has 5 emails, Week 2 has 2 emails. Since 2 (Week 2) is not more than 5 (Week 1), Wednesday does not qualify.

- Thursday: Week 1 has 9 emails, Week 2 has 7 emails. Since 7 (Week 2) is not more than 9 (Week 1), Thursday does not qualify.

- Friday: Week 1 has 6 emails, Week 2 has 9 emails. Since 9 (Week 2) is more than 6 (Week 1), Friday qualifies.

Thus, the day with more dots for Week 2 than for Week 1 is Friday.
