Line Plots

Front

What is a line plot?

Back

A line plot is a type of graph that displays data along a number line, showing the frequency of each value.

Front

How do you read a line plot?

Back

To read a line plot, look at the marks (often 'X's) above each number to see how many times that number appears in the data set.

Front

What does each 'X' represent in a line plot?

Back

Each 'X' represents one occurrence of a value in the data set.

Front

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

Back

Add up all the 'X's above each number to find the total number of data points.

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

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 determine the mode from a line plot?

Back

The mode is the value that appears most frequently, which can be found by identifying the number with the most 'X's.

Front

What is the range in a line plot?

Back

The range is the difference between the highest and lowest values represented in the line plot.

Front

How can you use a line plot to compare two sets of data?

Back

You can create two line plots on the same number line to visually compare the frequencies of each data set.

Front

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

Back

It means that there were no occurrences of that value in the data set.
