Select the correct answer.

Mr. Barrow scored his high school students' essays on a scale of 0 to 10. He recorded the following data:

[tex]\[
\begin{tabular}{|l|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|}
\hline
\text{Essay Score} & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 & 7 & 8 & 9 & 10 \\
\hline
\text{Number of Students} & 1 & 1 & 2 & 5 & 4 & 7 & 3 & 2 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\][/tex]

Which dot plot corresponds to the values in the table?

A.



Answer :

To determine which dot plot corresponds to the values shown in the table, let's go through the scores and the number of students for each score, step by step:

1. Score of 3: There is 1 student who scored 3.
2. Score of 4: There is 1 student who scored 4.
3. Score of 5: There are 2 students who scored 5.
4. Score of 6: There are 5 students who scored 6.
5. Score of 7: There are 4 students who scored 7.
6. Score of 8: There are 7 students who scored 8.
7. Score of 9: There are 3 students who scored 9.
8. Score of 10: There are 2 students who scored 10.

Now, we need to create a dot plot based on these values. Each dot in the plot will represent one student:

- For the score of 3: One dot.
- For the score of 4: One dot.
- For the score of 5: Two dots.
- For the score of 6: Five dots.
- For the score of 7: Four dots.
- For the score of 8: Seven dots.
- For the score of 9: Three dots.
- For the score of 10: Two dots.

Let's structure the plot:

```
3: •
4: •
5: ••
6: •••••
7: ••••
8: •••••••
9: •••
10: ••
```

Now, match this dot plot structure with the correct option among the given diagrams. The correct dot plot should have exactly the following:

- One dot under 3
- One dot under 4
- Two dots under 5
- Five dots under 6
- Four dots under 7
- Seven dots under 8
- Three dots under 9
- Two dots under 10
