Line Plots

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 read a line plot?

Back

To read a line plot, look at the number line to see the values and count the marks (X's or dots) above each value to determine the frequency.

Front

What does each mark on a line plot represent?

Back

Each mark on a line plot represents one occurrence of a data point.

Front

How can you find the total number of data points from a line plot?

Back

Add up the frequency of all the marks on the line plot.

Front

What is the purpose of a line plot?

Back

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

Front

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

Back

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

Front

How do you calculate the total length of items represented on a line plot?

Back

To calculate the total length, multiply the length of each item by its frequency and then sum all the lengths.

Front

What does it mean if a line plot has more marks at a certain value?

Back

It means that more data points fall at that value, indicating a higher frequency.

Front

How can you determine the mode from a line plot?

Back

The mode is the value with the highest frequency, which can be found by identifying the value with the most marks.

Front

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

Back

A fraction represents a part of a whole and can be used to show measurements or quantities on a line plot.
