Question

Use the image to answer the question.

A number line with arrows on both sides extends from 86 to 90 in increments of 1. It shows an abacus-like representation with open circles equally spaced in vertical rows above the numbers. There is one open circle above 86, four open circles above 87, no circles above 88, six open circles above 89, and four open circles above 90.

Mel creates this dot plot based on a numerical dataset. Which dataset did he use to get the information for his dot plot?

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

The correct answer is:

86 1
87 4
88 0
89 6
90 4

This is the correct dataset because the dot plot created by Mel matches the distribution of values shown in the dataset. The number of open circles above each number on the number line corresponds to the frequency of that number in the dataset. In this case, the number of open circles above each number matches the values in the dataset provided. Additionally, the absence of circles above 88 matches the value of 0 in the dataset. Therefore, this dataset is the only one that accurately reflects the information presented in the dot plot.
