group of 22 students participated in a race. Their scores are below:

Score (points) 4–5 6–7 8–9 10–11 12–13
Number of Students 3 5 8 4 2

Would a dot plot or a histogram best represent the data presented here? Why?
Dot plot, because a large number of scores are reported as ranges
Dot plot, because a small number of scores are reported individually
Histogram, because a large number of scores are reported as ranges
Histogram, because a small number of scores are reported individually
