Answer:

D. More than 25% of the students chose football and tennis as their favorite sport to play

Explanation:

From the dot plot :

Sport __Number of students

Hockey = 4

Track = 2

Tennis = 3

Basketball = 12

Soccer = 6

Football = 10

Golf = 5

Baseball = 8

Total = (4+2+3+12+6+10+5+8) = 50

Students of basketball, golf and track = (12 + 5 + 2) = 19 ; 19 /50 =

Percentage that chose base ball = 8 /50 *100 = 16%

(soccer + hockey) = (6+4) = 10/50 = 1/5

Football + tennis = (10 + 3) = 13

13/50 = 0.26 * 100% = 26% (True)
