Four of Nakeysha’s friends are observed.
The first day of the weekend, Nakeysha’s friends spent 4 hours playing video games.
The correct statement is:
The table shows 6 observations because Tiphani played in 6 different games.
To determine the number of observations in the dataset provided in the table, we need to count the number of entries or rows in the table. In this case, each row corresponds to a game Tiphani played, and each row has one observation of the number of hits she got in that game.
Looking at the table, we can see that there are six rows with data. Therefore, the dataset has 6 observations.
So, the correct statement is:
The table shows 6 observations because Tiphani played in 6 different games.
