Line Plots with Fractions

Front

What is a line plot?

Back

A line plot is a graph that shows the frequency of data along a number line, using X's or dots to represent each data point.

Front

How do you find the difference between two measurements on a line plot?

Back

To find the difference, subtract the smaller measurement from the larger measurement.

Front

What does it mean if a data point appears multiple times on a line plot?

Back

It indicates that the value represented by that data point occurs more frequently in the data set.

Front

How can you represent fractions on a line plot?

Back

Fractions can be placed on a line plot by marking their positions on the number line according to their value.

Front

What is the purpose of a line plot?

Back

The purpose of a line plot is to visually display data to make it easier to see patterns, trends, and frequencies.

Front

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

Back

Count the total number of X's or dots on the line plot.

Front

What is the significance of the scale on a line plot?

Back

The scale indicates the intervals of measurement and helps in accurately interpreting the data.

Front

How do you identify the mode from a line plot?

Back

The mode is the data point that appears most frequently on the line plot.

Front

What does it mean if a line plot has more data points on one side?

Back

It may indicate a skew in the data, showing that more values are concentrated in that range.

Front

How can you compare two sets of data using line plots?

Back

You can compare two sets of data by overlaying their line plots or placing them side by side to see differences in frequency and distribution.
