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 how many times that value occurs.

What does the term 'most common' mean in a line plot?

Back

'Most common' refers to the value that has the highest frequency or the most marks in the line plot.

How do you find the total of values represented in a line plot?

Back

To find the total, add up all the values represented by the marks in the line plot.

Front

What is the difference between two values in a line plot?

Back

Back

If a value has no marks, it means that value did not occur in the data set.

How can fractions be represented in a line plot?

Back

Fractions can be represented on a line plot by marking the appropriate points on the number line corresponding to the fraction values.

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 range of data in a line plot?
