The following data show the number of passengers in cars at a school football game: 5, 3, 4, 5, 4, 4, 2, 3, 1, 3, 4, 4, 5, 5 The data have been organized into a dot plot, as shown below Passengers in Cars 1 2 345 Passengers For which number are the data plotted incorrectly?

Answer 1

Given the data showing the number of passengers in cars at a school football game: 5, 3, 4, 5, 4, 4, 2, 3, 1, 3, 4, 4, 5, 5

A Dot Plot is a type of simple histogram-like chart used in statistics for relatively small data sets where values fall into a number of discrete categories.
A series of dots is used to represent the frequency of the given data.

From the given data, the frequency of 1 is 1, the frequency of 2 is 1, the frequency of 3 is 3, the frequency of 4 is 5 and the frequency of 5 is 4.

From the given dot plot, there are 2 dots representing the number 3 instead of 3.

Therefore, the passengers for which number are of data are plotted incorrectly is 3.
