Let’s go step by step to answer each question using the dot plot.

First, remember:
→ Each dot = 1 dog
→ The numbers below (1 to 11) are the ages of the dogs in years

---

Question 1: What does each dot represent?

Each dot stands for one dog. So if there are 3 dots above the number 2, that means 3 dogs are 2 years old.

✔ Answer: One dog

Question 2: How many dogs attended dog camp on the day represented by this graph?

We need to count ALL the dots in the entire graph.

Let’s count them age by age:

- Age 1 → 4 dots
- Age 2 → 3 dots
- Age 3 → 0 dots
- Age 4 → 2 dots
- Age 5 → 1 dot
- Age 6 → 0 dots
- Age 7 → 2 dots
- Age 8 → 0 dots
- Age 9 → 0 dots
- Age 10 → 1 dot
- Age 11 → 1 dot

Now add them up:

4 + 3 = 7
7 + 0 = 7
7 + 2 = 9
9 + 1 = 10
10 + 0 = 10
10 + 2 = 12
12 + 0 = 12
12 + 0 = 12
12 + 1 = 13
13 + 1 = 14

✔ Total dogs = 14

Question 3: List the ages of the dogs in order from least to greatest.

We list every dog’s age — so we write each age as many times as there are dots above it.

From our counts:

Age 1 → 4 dogs → write “1” four times
Age 2 → 3 dogs → write “2” three times
Age 4 → 2 dogs → write “4” two times
Age 5 → 1 dog → write “5” once
Age 7 → 2 dogs → write “7” two times
Age 10 → 1 dog → write “10” once
Age 11 → 1 dog → write “11” once

So the full list is:

1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 4, 4, 5, 7, 7, 10, 11

✔ That’s 14 numbers — matches total dogs!

Question 4: How many dogs are age five or younger?

“Five or younger” means age 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5.

But look at the graph — no dogs are age 3 or 6, etc. We only care about ages with dots ≤ 5.

From earlier:

- Age 1 → 4 dogs
- Age 2 → 3 dogs
- Age 4 → 2 dogs
- Age 5 → 1 dog

Add them: 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 10

✔ 10 dogs are age five or younger

---

Question 5: How many dogs are older than eight years old?

Older than 8 → age 9, 10, 11...

Look at graph:

- Age 9 → 0 dots
- Age 10 → 1 dot
- Age 11 → 1 dot

Total = 1 + 1 = 2

✔ 2 dogs are older than eight

---

Question 6: How many dogs are four or five years old?

Age 4 → 2 dogs
Age 5 → 1 dog

Total = 2 + 1 = 3

✔ 3 dogs are four or five years old

---

Final Answer:
1) One dog
2) 14
3) 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 4, 4, 5, 7, 7, 10, 11
4) 10
5) 2
6) 3
