Question

An explorer is lost in the desert and needs to refuel her car urgently. If she can only drive for 3 more kilometers, choose the line plot that correctly represents the given data, in a manner most useful to her.

• A. Plot 3
• B. Plot 1
• C. Plot 4
• D. Plot 2

Answer 1

The correct option is A Plot 3

As the explorer can only drive for 3 more kilometers, the most useful line plot would show more number of fuel stations less than 3 km away from her.

Now, the data given is:


Plotting this data as a useful line plot, we get:


Hence, line plot 3 is the most useful representation of the data given in the question.
