Question

Students in Ms. Seiko's class recorded the number of books they read over the summer.

A line plot named

Manu looked at the line plot and concluded that "The number of books with the most dots is 12 books, so that is the greatest number of books read over the summer." Is Manu's conclusion correct? Explain.

A.
No, Manu's conclusion is not correct. He should look at the greatest data value on the number line that has any dots above it to find the greatest number of books read.

B.
No, Manu's conclusion is not correct. He should count the total number of dots to find the greatest number of books read.

C.
No, Manu's conclusion is not correct. He should multiply each data value by the number of dots above it and then sum these results to find the greatest number of books read.

Answer 1

A.

Explanation:

No, Manu's conclusion is not correct. He should look at the greatest data value on the number line that has any dots above it to find the greatest number of books read. The most dots represent the most frequent number of books read, but not necessarily the greatest number of books read.
