Question

Brenna rolled a number cube 16 times and recorded each roll. The data are listed below. 2, 5, 5, 1, 4, 6, 2, 3, 5, 6, 3, 1, 4, 6, 1, 5 Create a dot plot for the data set. Which value has the most dots displayed above it?

Answer 1

Your answer would be that 5 would have the most dots above it :)

Answer 2

Answer with explanation:

We are given the results on rolling a number cube 16 times as:

2, 5, 5, 1, 4, 6, 2, 3, 5, 6, 3, 1, 4, 6, 1, 5

Now for creating a dot plot we need to first find the frequency table of these set of values or results .

The table is given as follows:

Number on cube              Frequency

      1                                       3

      2                                       2

      3                                       2

      4                                       2

      5                                       4

      6                                       3

 Total                               3+2+2+2+4+3=16  

Hence, for making a dot plot we will draw a horizontal line that represents the number on the cube and the number of dots above that number represents the frequency of that number.

The value that has the most dot value displayed on it is:

5 ( Since it's frequency is highest i.e. 4)
