Question

a group of kids were asked about the number of pets they have. study the line plot and answer the questions below. number of pets at home (line plot with xs over 0,1,2,3,4,5 as follows: 0 has 2 xs, 1 has 3 xs, 2 has 5 xs, 3 has 4 xs, 4 has 1 x, 5 has 2 xs) 1. how many kids have 3 pets? 2. what number of pets do the most kids have? 3. how many kids do not have any pets? 4. how many kids have more than 2 pets? 5. how many more kids have 2 pets than 5 pets? 6. how many kids have 4 pets or fewer? 7. how many kids have more than 1 but fewer than 5 pets? 8. how many kids were surveyed?

Explanation:

Step1: Count Xs for 3 pets

Count the Xs above 3: $4$

Step2: Find max Xs per pet count

Count Xs for each: 0(2),1(3),2(5),3(4),4(1),5(2). Max is 5 at 2 pets.

Step3: Count Xs for 0 pets

Count the Xs above 0: $2$

Step4: Sum Xs for >2 pets

Sum Xs for 3,4,5: $4 + 1 + 2 = 7$

Step5: Subtract 5-pet count from 2-pet count

$5 - 2 = 3$

Step6: Sum Xs for ≤4 pets

Sum Xs for 0,1,2,3,4: $2 + 3 + 5 + 4 + 1 = 15$

Step7: Sum Xs for 2,3,4 pets

Sum Xs for 2,3,4: $5 + 4 + 1 = 10$

Step8: Sum all Xs total

Sum all Xs: $2 + 3 + 5 + 4 + 1 + 2 = 17$

Answer:

1. $4$
2. $2$
3. $2$
4. $7$
5. $3$
6. $15$
7. $10$
8. $17$
