A line plot named


A.

B.

Yes. There are 18 bolts that have lengths greater than 1 inch, which is more than enough.


C.

No. There are only 3 bolts with lengths greater than 1 inch, which is not enough.


D.

No. There are only 12 bolts that have lengths greater than 1 inch, which is not enough.

Answer 1

D.)

No. There are only 12 bolts that have lengths greater than 1 inch, which is not enough.

Explanation:

Based on information provided by the dot plot above, we can deduce that the number of bta longer Than 1 inch are those with length ; 1 1/8, 1 3/8, 1 4/8

Counting the number of these bolts :

1 1/8 = 5 bolts

1 3/8 = 3 bolts

1 4/8 = 4 bolts

Hence, total number of bolts longer Than 1 inch :

(5 + 3 + 4). = 12 bolts

The number of bolts longer than 1 inch is 16. Therefore, he does not have enough bolt for the project.
