Step-by-step explanation:
Complete Question
Students in Mr. Hill's class were asked how many tv shows they watched last weekend. the results are shown on the line
plot.
which statement about the number of tv shows watched is accurate?
A) Half of the students watched fewer than two TV shows,
B) More than half of the students watched three or more TV shows,
C) Fewer than one-quarter of the students watched five or more TV shows.
D) Half of the students watched fewer than two shows or more than five shows.
The line plot is obtained online and attached to this solution. Please note that the community guidelines weren't gone against while looking for this line plot. The plot wasn't obtained from another brainly page.
Taking the options one at a time
A) Half of the students watched fewer than two TV shows,
There are 20 X's on the line plot and only 6 X's correspond to students that watched fewer than Two TV shows (that is, 0 and 1 TV show).
6 is less than half of 20, 6 ≠ 10. Hence, this statement is t right.
B) More than half of the students watched three or more TV shows,
The X's that correspond to 3 or more TV shows (3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 TV shows) are 10 in number. 10 isnt more than half of 20, So, this statement is wrong.
C) Fewer than one-quarter of the students watched five or more TV shows.
There are 6 X's on the line plot that correspond to five or more shows (5, 6 and 7 TV shows). 6 isn't fewer than one-quarter of the students. Hence, this is also untrue.
D) Half of the students watched fewer than two shows or more than five shows.
The number of X's that correspond to fewer than 2 shows (0 and 1 TV show) or more than 5 shows (6 and 7 TV shows) is exactly 4+2+1+3 = 10.
10 is exactly half of 20, hence, this statement is true as Half of the students truly watched fewer than two shows or more than five shows.
Hope this Helps!!!
