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 other symbols 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 symbols above each value to determine the frequency.

Front

What does it mean if a line plot is symmetrical?

Back

A symmetrical line plot has data that is evenly distributed around a central value, meaning the left and right sides mirror each other.

Front

What does it mean if a line plot is skewed left?

Back

A left-skewed line plot has more data points on the right side, indicating that the majority of values are higher.

Front

What does it mean if a line plot is skewed right?

Back

A right-skewed line plot has more data points on the left side, indicating that the majority of values are lower.

Front

How do you find the total from a line plot?

Back

To find the total, add the frequencies of all the data points represented in the line plot.

Front

What is the mode in a line plot?

Back

The mode is the value that appears most frequently in the data set represented by the line plot.

Front

What is the median in a line plot?

Back

The median is the middle value when the data points are arranged in order; if there is an even number of points, it is the average of the two middle values.

Front

How can you determine the range from a line plot?

Back

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

Front

What is the purpose of using a line plot?

Back

Line plots are used to visually display data, making it easier to see patterns, trends, and frequencies.
