To choose the correct plot representing the data in the table, let's break down the information given into a clear and organized format. The table provides the number of friends who like each type of ice cream as follows:
1. Chocolate: 3 friends
2. Pistachio: 1 friend
3. Strawberry: 2 friends
4. Vanilla: 4 friends
We need to organize these data points into a plot. Typically, for data like this, we can use either a bar graph or a pie chart. Let's describe how the bar graph should look, as that's one of the most common ways to represent this type of data:
- On the horizontal axis (x-axis), we will list the different ice cream types: Chocolate, Pistachio, Strawberry, and Vanilla.
- On the vertical axis (y-axis), we will mark the number of friends, with labels starting from 0 up to at least 4, since the highest number of friends (for Vanilla) is 4.
Each bar in the graph should represent the number of friends for each ice cream type:
- The bar for Chocolate should go up to 3.
- The bar for Pistachio should go up to 1.
- The bar for Strawberry should go up to 2.
- The bar for Vanilla should go up to 4.
When you look at the plots provided, the correct plot will be identified by ensuring that:
- Chocolate has a bar reaching 3.
- Pistachio has a bar reaching 1.
- Strawberry has a bar reaching 2.
- Vanilla has a bar reaching 4.
So, look for a plot with these characteristics. If you have multiple choices or a visual to refer to, select the one that matches these bars exactly.
If you're drawing it or verifying a plot yourself:
- Label the x-axis with "Ice Cream Type" and mark the four types.
- Label the y-axis with "Number of Friends" and ensure it covers at least up to 4.
- Draw bars up to the heights indicated above for each type of ice cream.
