Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

In order to determine how many students there are we need to count up all the x marks above each number in the line chart, as each x represents one student.  We know that 6 students read one book, 5 read two books, 6 read three books, 5 read four books, 5 read five books, and 3 read six books.  5 + 6 + 5 + 6 + 5 + 3 = 30, so the correct answer is 30.
