Problem Analysis and Solution
The worksheet contains several tasks involving dot plots and line plots. Let's solve each part step by step.
---
#### Part 1: Dot Plot Practice (Eye Colors)
The dot plot shows the distribution of eye colors in Mr. Yang's class. Here is the data from the dot plot:
- Brown: 5 students
- Blue: 6 students
- Green: 6 students
- Hazel: 2 students
Total number of students = \( 5 + 6 + 6 + 2 = 19 \)
##### Question 1: What percentage of the class has brown eyes?
- Number of students with brown eyes = 5
- Total number of students = 19
- Percentage = \( \left( \frac{\text{Number of students with brown eyes}}{\text{Total number of students}} \right) \times 100 \)
- Percentage = \( \left( \frac{5}{19} \right) \times 100 \approx 26.32\% \)
Answer: \( \boxed{26.32\%} \)
##### Question 2: How many students have blue eyes?
- From the dot plot, the number of students with blue eyes = 6
Answer: \( \boxed{6} \)
##### Question 3: What percentage of the students do not have hazel eyes?
- Number of students with hazel eyes = 2
- Number of students without hazel eyes = Total students - Students with hazel eyes = \( 19 - 2 = 17 \)
- Percentage = \( \left( \frac{\text{Number of students without hazel eyes}}{\text{Total number of students}} \right) \times 100 \)
- Percentage = \( \left( \frac{17}{19} \right) \times 100 \approx 89.47\% \)
Answer: \( \boxed{89.47\%} \)
##### Question 4: How many students have either brown or blue eyes?
- Number of students with brown eyes = 5
- Number of students with blue eyes = 6
- Total students with brown or blue eyes = \( 5 + 6 = 11 \)
Answer: \( \boxed{11} \)

#### Part 2: Line Plot Practice (Basketball Team Heights)
The line plot shows the heights of boys on a basketball team. Here is the data from the line plot:
- 5'0": 1 boy
- 5'2": 2 boys
- 5'4": 3 boys
- 5'6": 4 boys
- 5'8": 4 boys
- 5'10": 2 boys
- 6'0": 2 boys
Total number of boys = \( 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 4 + 2 + 2 = 18 \)
##### Question 5: Assuming every team member was measured, how many boys are on the basketball team?
- Total number of boys = 18
Answer: \( \boxed{18} \)
##### Question 6: What percentage of the team is taller than 5'7"?
- Heights taller than 5'7": 5'8", 5'10", and 6'0"
- Number of boys taller than 5'7":
- 5'8": 4 boys
- 5'10": 2 boys
- 6'0": 2 boys
- Total = \( 4 + 2 + 2 = 8 \)
- Percentage = \( \left( \frac{\text{Number of boys taller than 5'7"}}{\text{Total number of boys}} \right) \times 100 \)
- Percentage = \( \left( \frac{8}{18} \right) \times 100 \approx 44.44\% \)
Answer: \( \boxed{44.44\%} \)
##### Question 7: How many boys are 5'4" or shorter?
- Heights 5'4" or shorter: 5'0", 5'2", and 5'4"
- Number of boys:
- 5'0": 1 boy
- 5'2": 2 boys
- 5'4": 3 boys
- Total = \( 1 + 2 + 3 = 6 \)
Answer: \( \boxed{6} \)
##### Question 8: Are there any outliers? If so, what?
- An outlier is a value that is significantly different from other values in the dataset.
- In this case, all heights are relatively close to each other, and there are no extreme values.
- Conclusion: There are no outliers.
Answer: \( \boxed{\text{No outliers}} \)

#### Part 3: Create a Dot Plot
The data given is the number of minutes people spend exercising per day, rounded to the nearest 5-minute increment:
- Data: 0, 10, 25, 10, 0, 30, 15, 20, 10, 30, 30, 30, 25, 15
##### Step 1: Organize the data into intervals
- Intervals: 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30
- Frequency:
- 0: 2
- 5: 0
- 10: 3
- 15: 2
- 20: 1
- 25: 2
- 30: 4
##### Step 2: Create the dot plot
```
Minutes | Dots
-----------------
0 | XX
5 |
10 | XXX
15 | XX
20 | X
25 | XX
30 | XXXX
```

#### Part 4: Real-Life Application
This part requires surveying classmates about the number of siblings they have and creating a line plot. Since this is an open-ended task, the solution will depend on the actual data collected. Here is a general approach:
1. Collect data from at least 10 classmates.
2. Organize the data into a frequency table.
3. Create a line plot based on the frequency table.
For example, if the data collected is: 0, 1, 2, 1, 0, 3, 2, 1, 0, 2:
- Frequency:
- 0: 3
- 1: 3
- 2: 3
- 3: 1
- Line plot:
```
Siblings | Dots
-----------------
0 | ***
1 | ***
2 | ***
3 | *
```
