What is a line plot?

Back

A line plot is a graph that shows the frequency of data along a number line, using Xs or other symbols to represent how many times each value occurs.

Front

How do you read a line plot?

Back

To read a line plot, look at the number line to see the values and count the Xs above each value to determine how many times that value occurs.

Front

What does the most frequent length mean in a line plot?

Back

The most frequent length is the value that has the highest number of Xs above it on the line plot.

Front

What is the purpose of using halves in a line plot?

Back

Using halves in a line plot allows for more precise representation of data, especially when measurements are not whole numbers.

Front

What does it mean if a line plot is marked in whole numbers only?

Back

If a line plot is marked in whole numbers only, it means that the data does not include fractions or decimals.

Front

How can you determine the least amount of Xs in a line plot?

Back

The least amount of Xs can be determined by looking for the value with the fewest Xs above it on the line plot.

Front

What is the significance of the Xs in a line plot?

Back

The Xs in a line plot represent the frequency of each value, showing how many times that value occurs in the data set.

Front

What does it mean if a statement about a line plot is true or false?

Back

A true statement accurately describes the data represented in the line plot, while a false statement does not match the data.

Front

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

Back

To find the total number of data points, add up all the Xs above each value on the line plot.

Front

What is a measurement in the context of a line plot?

Back

A measurement in a line plot refers to the specific values being represented, such as lengths, weights, or time.
