The amount of sap the maple syrup producer collected from each tree if the total amount (5 gallons) was redistributed equally among the trees is 1/2 litres or 0.5 litres.
How does the dot plot work?
Ssuppose we're measuring something whose values are numeric. For each value of that thing we observe, we plot a dot above that value in the number line. Thus, the total number of dots in the dot plot tells us the total number of observations of the values of that thing we did.
Thus, suppose if we observed the value 'x', then we will make a dot above 'x'. If there is already a dot over 'x', then we will make a new dot over that dot.
If instead of only observations, the table of unique observation and frequency is given, then we plot dots that many times as the count written in the frequency table. Thus, if it's written that the value 2 has 3 has its frequency, then we plot 3 dots one over the other above the value 2 on the horizontal axis.
Since there are ten crosses, therefore, there are a total of 10 trees. If the total sap of 5 litres is needed to be distributed between 10 trees. Then the ratio will be written as,
[tex]\rm Ratio = \dfrac{\text{Total available Maply syrup}}{\text{Number of trees}}\\\\\\Ratio = \dfrac{5}{10} = \dfrac{1}{2} =0.5\ liters[/tex]
Hence, The amount of sap the maple syrup producer collected from each tree if the total amount (5 gallons) was redistributed equally among the trees is 1/2 litres or 0.5 litres.
