What is a line plot?

Back

A line plot is a type of graph that displays data along a number line, showing the frequency of data points by placing an 'X' or other mark above each value.

How do you determine the total number of data points in a line plot?

Back

To determine the total number of data points in a line plot, you sum the frequencies of all the values represented.

Front

What does the frequency of a number in a line plot represent?

Back

The frequency of a number in a line plot represents how many times that number occurs in the data set.

Front

How can you identify the mode from a line plot?

Back

The mode can be identified from a line plot by finding the value with the highest frequency, which is represented by the tallest stack of marks.

Front

What is the purpose of using a line plot?

Back

The purpose of using a line plot is to visually represent data, making it easier to see trends, patterns, and the distribution of values.

Front

How do you read a line plot?

Back

To read a line plot, look at the number line to identify the values and count the marks above each value to determine the frequency.

Front

What is the difference between a line plot and a bar graph?

Back

A line plot displays data points along a number line with marks, while a bar graph uses rectangular bars to represent the frequency of categories.

Front

How can you find the median from a line plot?

Back

To find the median from a line plot, you first need to list all the data points in order, then find the middle value.

Front

What does it mean if a number has a frequency of zero in a line plot?

Back

If a number has a frequency of zero in a line plot, it means that number does not occur in the data set.

Front

How can you use a line plot to compare two sets of data?

Back

You can use two line plots on the same number line to compare the frequencies of values from two different data sets.
