Question

The following data represent the number of eggs, in ten-thousands, which were sold by various grocery stores in the month of November. Construct a dot plot for the given data.

9        5        9        12      3        2        11      1

6        5        2        4        12      6        5        9

Answer 1

Sort data in ascending order:

1,2,2,3,4,5,5,5,6,6,9,9,9,11,12,12

Here is the dot plot:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 number of eggs (in thousands)

So, for dot plot we make number line like this and then put as many dots on a number as many times it repeated. For example 9 repeated 3 times hence 3 dots are there above 9.

I hope this will help.

Please comment if any doubt. Thank you.
