just a little confused Use the line plot to answer the question. http://static.k12.com/calms_media/media/1417500_1418000/1417685/1/43458e60a2cd7cfaa7f1fd22da2f330b01eee2ff/FGA_130917_261008.jpg How many people read more than three books during the summer? A. 3 B. 7 C. 12 D. 13

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

How many dots are under the 4? How many dots are under the 5? How many dots are under the 6?

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

Do you know how these types of plots work?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Add up all of those sub-counts to get your answer

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

Basically, the x axis is number of books read. The y axis, which they do not show, it number of people...

OpenStudy (faithhouse):

well jim_thompson5910 I tried that but it equaled 15 which isn't a answer. and e.mccormick I sorta remember the three types work.

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

Did you do more than 3 or did you include 3? or... how did you get 15?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

note: you do NOT do 4+5+6 = 9+6 = 15

OpenStudy (faithhouse):

so your saying its B.?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

each dot represents a person ex: 2 people read 5 books (since there are 2 dots over the "5")

OpenStudy (faithhouse):

okay so it's B.

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):
