Lesson 4
Dot Plots
Problem 1
Clare recorded the amounts of time spent doing homework, in hours per week, by students in sixth, eighth, and tenth grades. She made a dot plot of the data for each grade and provided the following summary.
- Students in sixth grade tend to spend less time on homework than students in eighth and tenth grades.
-
The homework times for the tenth-grade students are more alike than the homework times for the eighth-grade students.
Use Clare's summary to match each dot plot to the correct grade (sixth, eighth, or tenth).

Problem 2
Mai played 10 basketball games. She recorded the number of points she scored and made a dot plot. Mai said that she scored between 8 and 14 points in most of the 10 games, but one game was exceptional. During that game she scored more than double her typical score of 9 points. Use the number line to make a dot plot that fits the description Mai gave.

Problem 3
A movie theater is showing three different movies. The dot plots represent the ages of the people who were at the Saturday afternoon showing of each of these movies.
![Three dot plots from 0 to 55 by 1’s. Age. Plots labeled moive A, movie B, and movie C.](https://cms-im.s3.amazonaws.com/sYZU8hP67WJaC3j6DvgiNo1w?response-content-disposition=inline%3B%20filename%3D%226-6.8.PP.A1.Image.124.png%22%3B%20filename%2A%3DUTF-8%27%276-6.8.PP.A1.Image.124.png&response-content-type=image%2Fpng&X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Credential=AKIAXQCCIHWF3XOEFOW4%2F20240630%2Fus-east-1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&X-Amz-Date=20240630T192752Z&X-Amz-Expires=604800&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&X-Amz-Signature=b8229f87039f89011502463ffd501f00bc7a51d1fdfc7bb8d4cf76df9775e5bb)
- One of these movies was an animated movie rated G for general audiences. Do you think it was movie A, B, or C? Explain your reasoning.
- Which movie has a dot plot with ages that that center at about 30 years?
- What is a typical age for the people who were at Movie A?
