Question

and small trucks. the scatter plot shows how many cars and trucks parked at the parking lot each day for a week. what is the daily average number of trucks parked at the lot that week? round to the nearest tenth, if necessary. hint: each blue dot represents 1 day of the week. options: 4, 3.1, 2.4 (and other visible options)

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the number of trucks each day

From the scatter plot, the number of trucks per day (each blue dot) are: 2, 3, 3, 4, 2, 5, 3. (We count 7 days as it's a week)

Step2: Calculate the sum of trucks

Sum the numbers: \(2 + 3 + 3 + 4 + 2 + 5 + 3\)
\(= (2 + 2)+(3 + 3 + 3)+(4 + 5)\)
\(= 4 + 9 + 9\)
\(= 22\)

Step3: Calculate the average

Average = \(\frac{\text{Total sum}}{\text{Number of days}}=\frac{22}{7}\approx 3.1\) (rounded to the nearest tenth)

Answer:

3.1
