Free Collection Of Dot Plot Worksheets For Teaching - Free Printable

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, 3, and 4:
- 2 pets: 5 kids
- 3 pets: 4 kids
- 4 pets: 2 kids
- Total: \( 5 + 4 + 2 = 11 \)
- Answer: 11

8. How many kids were surveyed?
- We calculated this earlier: \( 2 + 3 + 5 + 4 + 2 + 2 = 18 \)
- Answer: 18

Final Answers:

1. 4
2. 2 pets
3. 2
4. 8
5. 3
6. 16
7. 11
8. 18

\boxed{4, 2, 2, 8, 3, 16, 11, 18}
