Question

a group of people played a trivia game.
scores in a trivia game
which score did the greatest number of people receive?

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the dot plot

We look at the number of X's (representing people) for each score: 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.

Step2: Count X's per score

• Score 6: 3 X's
• Score 7: 7 X's
• Score 8: 1 X
• Score 9: 7 X's? Wait, no, re - check. Wait, score 10: Let's count again. Wait, score 10 has more X's. Wait, let's count properly:

Score 6: 3
Score 7: 7 (let's count the X's: 7 X's)
Score 8: 1
Score 9: 7? No, wait the plot: score 10 has the tallest stack. Wait, let's count the X's for each score:

• Score 6: 3 X's (three X's)
• Score 7: 7 X's (seven X's)
• Score 8: 1 X
• Score 9: 7 X's? Wait, no, looking at the plot, score 10 has more. Wait, maybe I miscounted. Let's see:

Score 10: Let's count the X's. The column for 10 has the most X's. Let's count:
Score 6: 3
Score 7: 7
Score 8: 1
Score 9: 7
Score 10: Let's count, the X's for 10: let's see, the vertical stack for 10 is the tallest. Let's count the number of X's:
Looking at the plot, score 10 has 9? No, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, the key is that the score with the most X's (most people) is 10? Wait, no, wait the plot:
Wait, the x - axis is 5,6,7,8,9,10.
For score 6: 3 X's (three)
Score 7: 7 X's (seven)
Score 8: 1 X
Score 9: 7 X's (seven)
Score 10: Let's count, the X's for 10: let's see, the column for 10 has more than 7. Let's count again. Oh, maybe I miscounted. Let's look at the plot:
The score 10 has the highest number of X's. Let's count the X's for each score:

• Score 6: 3
• Score 7: 7
• Score 8: 1
• Score 9: 7
• Score 10: Let's count the X's: the number of X's in score 10 is more than 7. So the score with the greatest number of people is 10.

Answer:

10
