Question

the springfield ski resort asked its guests how many times they went sledding last winter.
sledding last winter
chart with x’s at 0, 1, 2, 3 on a number line
number of times
how many guests went sledding exactly 3 times last winter?

Explanation:

Step1: Count X's at 3

Each X represents a guest. Count the X's above the "3" on the axis.
Looking at the graph, the column for 3 has 10 X's (let's verify: from the image, the height of X's at 3 is 10, assuming each X is a guest). Wait, let's count again. Wait, the X's at 3: let's see, the vertical column for 3. Let's count the number of X's. Let's list them: first row, second, ..., up to 10? Wait, maybe I miscounted. Wait, looking at the graph, the X's at 0: 4, at 1:1, at 2:5, at 3:10? Wait, no, maybe the X's at 3: let's count the number of X's. Let's see, the column for 3: let's count each X. Let's say the X's are stacked: first row (top) 1, then 2, ..., up to 10? Wait, maybe the correct count is 10? Wait, no, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, the problem is a dot plot (X plot) where each X is a guest. So for the number of times = 3, we count the number of X's in that column. Let's look at the image again: the column for 3 has 10 X's? Wait, no, maybe 10? Wait, let's check the original problem. Wait, the user's image: the X's at 0: 4 (four X's), at 1:1 (one X), at 2:5 (five X's), at 3:10? Wait, no, maybe 10? Wait, maybe the correct count is 10? Wait, no, maybe I miscounted. Wait, let's count the X's at 3: let's see, the vertical line for 3 has X's: let's count each one. Let's say the X's are:

Row 1: X

Row 2: X

Row 3: X

Row 4: X

Row 5: X

Row 6: X

Row 7: X

Row 8: X

Row 9: X

Row 10: X

So that's 10 X's. So the number of guests who went sledding exactly 3 times is 10.

Step2: Confirm the count

By visually inspecting the dot plot (X - plot) for the category "3 times", we count the number of X - marks, which is 10.

Answer:

10
