So, the answer is 4.

Problem 2 :

Sean is training to run at a cross country track meet. He recorded the number of miles he ran on different days.

Which dot plot represents the data Sean recorded?

Solution :

By comparing the frequency table and dot plot, option G is correct.

Problem 3 :

Keri recorded the number of points for each of the words she created during a word game.

Which stem-and-leaf plot represents the points Keri scored?

Solution :

Arranging the data from least to greatest,

13, 15, 19, 22, 22, 27, 31, 33

So, option C is correct.

Problem 4 :

Students in Juanita's class kept a record of the number of different types of birds each of them saw during recess. The data is shown below.

Juanita wants to make a dot plot to represent the data. How many dots will she place above the number 5?

F)   3     G)   1     H)   2     J)   5

Solution :

The values above 5 is 7

So, option G is the correct answer.

Problem 5 :

A fourth grade class attended a band concert. After the concert, the band conductor asked each student to name their favorite instrument. He recorded the data using tally marks.

Write frequency table represents the number of students that chose each instrument and find the total number of students.

Solution :

Total number of students = 8 + 13 + 3 + 5 + 6 + 4 + 14

= 53 students.

Problem 6 :

The data shown below represents the height of students in Juan's class

Juan has decided to create a stem and leaf plot to represent the heights. How many leaves will he put in the stem and leaf plot.

a) 10   b)  3    c)  12     d)  15

Solution :

Arranging the given values from least to greatest.

48, 49, 50, 52, 54, 55, 55, 56, 57, 58, 60, 60, 61, 62, 63

Stem      Leaf

4              8 9

5              0   2   4  5   5  6   7   8

6               0     0   1    2   3  

Total number of values is 15, then number of leaf will be 15. Option d is correct.

Problem 7 :

Jeri works her puppy each day. She recorded the distance they walked in the table below.

Jeri has decided to create frequency table to represent the data. What number should she use to represent the number of times they walked 3/4 mile.

a)  2       b)  5       c)  3      d)  4 

Solution :

Number of times 3/4 miles = 4

Option d is correct.

Problem 8 :

Keith surveyed the students in his class to find the number of siblings each of them has. The data is shown below.

Keith wants to make a dot plot to represent the data. What data points will be labeled below the number line in the dot plot?

F) 1, 2, 3     G) 1, 2, 3, 4     H)  0, 1, 2      J) 0, 1, 2, 3, 4

Solution :

In the number line, we have to plot the points 0, 1, 2, 3, 4. so, option J is correct.

Problem 9 :

The list shows the numbers of books donated to a library on fourteen days.

0, 1, 4, 4, 6, 7, 8, 8, 9, 12, 12, 16, 16, 17

The librarian made this frequency table to show the data. The frequency table is not complete.

Which row of the frequency table is incomplete?

F) The row showing 0 to 4 books

G) The row showing 5 to 9 books

H) The row showing 10 to 14 books

J) The row showing 15 to 19 books

Solution :

0, 1, 4, 4, 6, 7, 8, 8, 9, 12, 12, 16, 16, 17

• Number of books in between 0 to 4 = 4
• Number of books in between 5 to 9 = 5
• Number of books in between 10 to 14 = 2
• Number of books in between 15 to 19 = 3

Observing the frequency table, number of books in between 0 to 4 must be 4 values. Here 3 is entered. So, option F the row showing 0 to 4 books is not completed.

Problem 10 :

The list shows the numbers of points a basketball team scored during the games the team played last season.

83, 98, 104, 88, 95, 98, 101, 89, 92, 89
