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 X represent in a line plot?

Back

Each X represents one occurrence of a data point in the dataset.

Front

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

Back

Add up all the X's or dots in the line plot 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

How do you determine the mode from a line plot?

Back

The mode is the value that appears most frequently in the line plot, represented by the highest number of X's.

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 data points, it is the average of the two middle values.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

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

Back

If there are no X's above a value, it means that there were no occurrences of that value in the dataset.

Front

How can you compare two line plots?

Back

To compare two line plots, look at the frequency of data points for each value in both plots and analyze the differences.
