guessing a number between 1 and 5

(there is a dot plot here with the x - axis labeled number guessed and ticks at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. the number of xs above each tick: 1 has many xs, 2 has a few, 3 has one x, 4 has a few, 5 has many xs)

which number was guessed the fewest times?

Explanation:

Step1: Count guesses for each number

• For number 1: Count the X's. There are 10 X's.
• For number 2: Count the X's. There are 3 X's.
• For number 3: Count the X's. There is 1 X.
• For number 4: Count the X's. There are 2 X's.
• For number 5: Count the X's. There are 9 X's.

Step2: Identify the minimum count

Compare the counts: 1 (for 3) is less than 2 (for 4), 3 (for 2), 9 (for 5), and 10 (for 1).
