Line Plots

A line plot is a graph that shows the frequency of data along a number line.

The highest number in a data set is called the maximum value.

The mode is the number that appears most frequently in a data set.

The range is found by subtracting the smallest number from the largest number in the set.

A line plot typically displays the number of occurrences of each value in a data set.

The minimum value is the smallest number in the data set.

To identify the mode, look for the number that appears most often.

The range gives an idea of how spread out the values are in a data set.

A peak in a line plot indicates the value that occurs most frequently.

To interpret a line plot, look at the marks above each number to see how many times each value occurs.
