Line & Stem-and-Leaf Plots

Front

What is a line plot?

Back

A line plot is a graph that shows the frequency of data along a number line, where each data point is represented by an 'X' or a dot.

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

Back

Count all the marks (X's or dots) on the line plot to find the total number of data points.

Front

What is a stem-and-leaf plot?

Back

A stem-and-leaf plot is a method of displaying quantitative data in a graphical format, similar to a histogram, that helps to visualize the shape of a distribution.

Front

What does the 'stem' represent in a stem-and-leaf plot?

Back

The 'stem' represents the leading digit(s) of the data values.

Front

What does the 'leaf' represent in a stem-and-leaf plot?

Back

The 'leaf' represents the trailing digit(s) of the data values.

Front

How do you read a stem-and-leaf plot?

Back

To read a stem-and-leaf plot, combine the stem with each leaf to form the original data values.

Front

What is the purpose of using a line plot?

Back

The purpose of using a line plot is to display data points in a way that makes it easy to see the distribution and frequency of the data.

Front

How can you find the mode using a line plot?

Back

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

Front

What is the difference between a line plot and a stem-and-leaf plot?

Back

A line plot shows data points along a number line, while a stem-and-leaf plot organizes data into stems and leaves to show the distribution.

Front

How do you create a stem-and-leaf plot from a list of numbers?

Back

1. Separate each number into a stem and a leaf. 2. List the stems in a vertical column. 3. Write the leaves next to their corresponding stems.
