Flashcard 51: Which option correctly reports the number of observations for $\{4, 4, 6\}$: $2$ or $3$?

Answer: $3$. Count values, not unique values; duplicates count separately.

Flashcard 52: Identify $n$ if a dot plot shows $4$ dots above $2$ and $6$ dots above $3$.

Answer: $n = 10$. Total dots equals total observations: $4 + 6 = 10$.
