Read and Analyze 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, 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 the values and count the number of 'X's above each value to determine the frequency.

Front

What does the term 'frequency' mean in a line plot?

Back

Frequency refers to the number of times a particular value appears in the data set.

Front

How can you determine the total number of data points from a line plot?

Back

Add up the frequencies of all the values represented on 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 analyze and interpret.

Front

What does it mean if a value has a higher frequency on a line plot?

Back

A higher frequency indicates that more data points fall at that value, suggesting it is more common in the data set.

Front

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

Back

The range can be found by subtracting the smallest value from the largest value represented on the line plot.

Front

What is the significance of the x-axis in a line plot?

Back

The x-axis represents the values of the data being plotted, showing where each data point falls.

Front

What is the significance of the y-axis in a line plot?

Back

The y-axis represents the frequency of the data points, showing how many times each value occurs.

Front

How do you identify clusters in a line plot?

Back

Clusters can be identified by looking for groups of 'X's that are close together, indicating a concentration of data points.
