Question

this line plot shows data about trails in a state park. what is true about the data in this line plot? lengths of trails (in kilometers) five trails are 6 kilometers long. half the trails are 5 kilometers long or shorter. there are 7 trails longer than 7 kilometers. the longest trail is 6 kilometers long.

Explanation:

Step1: Count dots at 6 km

Count the number of dots above the 6 - kilometer mark on the line - plot. There are 5 dots.

Step2: Analyze other statements

• For the statement "Half the trails are 5 kilometers long or shorter": Count the total number of dots. There are 2 + 3+ 5+ 4+ 2+ 5=21 dots. Dots for 5 km or shorter are 2 + 3 = 5, which is not half of 21.
• For the statement "There are 7 trails longer than 7 kilometers": Dots for lengths longer than 7 km (i.e., at 7.5 km and 8 km) are 2+5 = 7.
• For the statement "The longest trail is 6 kilometers long": The longest - marked length on the plot is 8 kilometers.

Answer:

Five trails are 6 kilometers long.
