According to the dot plot, how many more groups had 4 or 5 people than 1 or 7? Select one: 4 5 3 8

To answer the question, we need to analyze the information provided in the dot plot. However, since there's no visual representation here, I will guide you through the logical steps you would take to derive the answer based on the question.

Break Down the Problem

1. Identify the groups with 4 or 5 people.
2. Identify the groups with 1 or 7 people.
3. Calculate the counts for both sets.

Relevant Concepts

• We are making a simple comparative count based on the information given in the dot plot.

Analysis and Detail

1. Count Groups with 4 or 5 People:

   • Count how many dots (or groups) are represented for the number 4.
   • Count how many dots (or groups) are represented for the number 5.
   • Add these two counts together.

2. Count Groups with 1 or 7 People:

   • Count how many dots (or groups) are represented for the number 1.
   • Count how many dots (or groups) are represented for the number 7.
   • Add these two counts together.

3. Calculate the Difference:

   • Subtract the total count of groups with 1 or 7 people from the total count of groups with 4 or 5 people.

Verify and Summarize

• Ensure that all counts have been double-checked to confirm accuracy.
• After calculating, summarize the difference.

Final Answer

Assuming you have done the counting and analysis correctly, you would select the option that corresponds to the calculated difference from the answer choices provided: 4, 5, 3, or 8. Without the exact counts from the dot plot, I cannot provide a definitive numeric answer. Please perform the counting as described.
