C: How many books have you read that were at least 1 and 1/2 inches thick?

Question formulation in survey

The data display in the form of a dot plot shows the distribution of the thickness of books in inches.

The start point of the dot plot is 1 and 1/2 inches, and the end point is 4 inches, with 1/2 inch separating each point. The number of dots at each point represents the frequency or count of books falling within that thickness range.
