Problem Statement:
A study of “To what extent does it take you to have breakfast?” has these outcomes:
| Minutes | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 |
| People | 6 | 2 | 3 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 3 | 7 | 4 | 1 |
Draw the Dot Plot for Minutes to Eat Breakfast!
Solution:
6 individuals take 0 minutes to have breakfast (they most likely had no breakfast!), 2 individuals say they just burn through 1 moment eating, and so on. And here is the dot plot:
