Line Plots

Front

What is a line plot?

Back

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

Front

How do you read a line plot?

Back

To read a line plot, look at the number line to see how many 'X's or dots are above each number to understand the frequency of each value.

Front

What does it mean if a line plot has more 'X's above a number?

Back

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

Front

How can you find the total number of items in a line plot?

Back

Add up all the 'X's or dots in the line plot to find the total number of items.

Front

What does it mean if a line plot has no 'X's above a number?

Back

It means that no data points have that value, indicating a frequency of zero.

Front

How do you determine the mode from a line plot?

Back

The mode is the value with the most 'X's or dots above it in the line plot.

Front

What is the purpose of a line plot?

Back

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

Front

How can you compare two sets of data using line plots?

Back

You can compare two line plots by looking at the number of 'X's above each value in both plots to see which has higher 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 'X's, while a bar graph uses bars to represent the frequency of different categories.

Front

How do you find the range of data in a line plot?

Back

The range is found by subtracting the smallest value from the largest value represented in the line plot.
