To solve the problems based on the line plot, let's analyze the data step by step.
Line Plot Analysis:
The line plot shows the number of pets each kid has. Each "X" represents one kid. Here's the breakdown:
-
0 pets: 2 kids (2 X's)
-
1 pet: 3 kids (3 X's)
-
2 pets: 5 kids (5 X's)
-
3 pets: 4 kids (4 X's)
-
4 pets: 2 kids (2 X's)
-
5 pets: 2 kids (2 X's)
Total Number of Kids:
First, let's count the total number of kids surveyed:
\[ 2 + 3 + 5 + 4 + 2 + 2 = 18 \]
Answers to the Questions:
1.
How many kids have 3 pets?
- From the line plot, there are 4 X's above the number 3.
-
Answer: 4
2.
What number of pets do the most kids have?
- The highest number of X's is above the number 2, with 5 X's.
-
Answer: 2 pets
3.
How many kids do not have any pets?
- There are 2 X's above the number 0.
-
Answer: 2
4.
How many kids have more than 2 pets?
- Count the X's above 3, 4, and 5:
- 3 pets: 4 kids
- 4 pets: 2 kids
- 5 pets: 2 kids
- Total: \( 4 + 2 + 2 = 8 \)
-
Answer: 8
5.
How many more kids have 2 pets than 5 pets?
- Kids with 2 pets: 5
- Kids with 5 pets: 2
- Difference: \( 5 - 2 = 3 \)
-
Answer: 3
6.
How many kids have 4 pets or fewer?
- Count the X's above 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4:
- 0 pets: 2 kids
- 1 pet: 3 kids
- 2 pets: 5 kids
- 3 pets: 4 kids
- 4 pets: 2 kids
- Total: \( 2 + 3 + 5 + 4 + 2 = 16 \)
-
Answer: 16
7.
How many kids have more than 1 but fewer than 5 pets?
- Count the X's above 2 and 3:
- 2 pets: 5 kids
- 3 pets: 4 kids
- Total: \( 5 + 4 = 9 \)
-
Answer: 9
8.
How many kids were surveyed?
- We already calculated this as the total number of X's:
-
Answer: 18
