A girl named Tessa and I did a graph. We asked the kids in the computer room how many people they think live in Delmar on the Maryland and Delaware side? Delmar is in the middle of Delaware and Maryland so they had to estimate for both sides of Delmar. Here are the estimates:
Linette 10,000
Betty 15,000
Rhae 6,000
Megan 3,002
Ashley 6,003
Tessa 9,999
Holly 9,000
Jamie 5,600
Dawn 7,100
Quinnisha 7,000

Here is the graph that Tessa made from
the data:

Population in thousands
Our town only has one traffic light. Can you guess which one of us was closest to the correct answer?
The population of Delmar (Maryland side and Delaware side combined) is 2,392. ;-)
