SOL 5.16 - Line Plots and Stem-and-Leaf 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 above each value.

Front

What is a stem-and-leaf plot?

Back

A stem-and-leaf plot is a method of displaying quantitative data in a graphical format, where each number is split into a 'stem' (the leading digit) and a 'leaf' (the trailing digit).

Front

How do you find the mode in a set of data?

Back

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

Front

What does it mean to combine ages in a data set?

Back

Combining ages means adding the values of different ages together to find a total.

Front

How can you determine the highest frequency in a line plot?

Back

Look for the value with the most marks (X's or dots) above it; that value has the highest frequency.

Front

What is the purpose of a stem-and-leaf plot?

Back

A stem-and-leaf plot helps organize data to see its shape and distribution while retaining the original data values.

Front

How do you read a stem-and-leaf plot?

Back

The 'stem' represents the leading digit(s) and the 'leaf' represents the last digit. For example, a stem of 4 and a leaf of 5 represents the number 45.

Front

What is the median of a data set?

Back

The median is the middle value when the data set is ordered from least to greatest.

Front

How do you calculate the total number of items from a line plot?

Back

Count all the marks (X's or dots) on the line plot to find the total number of items.

Front

What is a frequency table?

Back

A frequency table is a way to organize data that shows how often each value occurs.
