You asked amusement park visitors the question "How many times did you ride the Ferris wheel today?" as they left the park.

Four people said they rode a Ferris wheel 5 times. Explain how this would be shown on a dot plot.

Draw an xy axis. On the x axis, put "number of times person rode the Ferris wheel" or something along those lines. For the y axis, put "frequency". For x = 5, you'll have four dots stacked on top of each other at this x value. I suggest having a slight gap between each dot so you can tell them apart. The four dots represent the four people who said they rode the Ferris wheel five times

The number line of the dot plot would show the number of times riding a Ferris wheel. Four dots would be placed above the "5" to show the 4 people.
