Answer 2

There are exactly 3 students with 4 pairs of shoes.

Given

`Pairs \to Dots`

`1 \to 1`

`2 \to 3`

`3 \to 5`

`4 \to 3`

`5 \to 1`

Required

What does the 3 on 4 represents?

First, we plot the dot plot.

See attachment for plot

The dots represent the number of student

So 3 dots on 4 means that:

`Students \to 3`

`Pairs \to 4`

This implies that there are 3 students have exactly 4 pairs
