To solve this problem, we need to check if the dot plot (the graph with the X's) correctly matches the data in the table. We will go through each age group one by one and count the number of X's to see if it matches the "Number of children" listed in the table.
Step 1: Check Age 6
*
Table: The table says there are
2 children who are 6 years old.
*
Graph: Look at the column above the number 6 on the bottom axis. Count the X's. There are
2 X's.
*
Result: This matches.
Step 2: Check Age 7
*
Table: The table says there are
4 children who are 7 years old.
*
Graph: Look at the column above the number 7. Count the X's. There are
4 X's.
*
Result: This matches.
Step 3: Check Age 8
*
Table: The table says there are
3 children who are 8 years old.
*
Graph: Look at the column above the number 8. Count the X's. There are
3 X's.
*
Result: This matches.
Step 4: Check Age 9
*
Table: The table says there are
5 children who are 9 years old.
*
Graph: Look at the column above the number 9. Count the X's. There are
5 X's.
*
Result: This matches.
Step 5: Check Age 10
*
Table: The table says there is
1 child who is 10 years old.
*
Graph: Look at the column above the number 10. Count the X's. There is
1 X.
*
Result: This matches.
Step 6: Check Age 11
*
Table: The table says there are
3 children who are 11 years old.
*
Graph: Look at the column above the number 11. Count the X's. There are
3 X's.
*
Result: This matches.
Conclusion:
Every single age group in the graph has the correct number of X's corresponding to the numbers in the table. Therefore, the dot plot accurately represents the data.
Final Answer:
The dot plot correctly represents the data in the table.
