Line Plots

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

To read a line plot, look at the marks above the number line to see how many times each value occurs.

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

Count all the 'X's in the line plot to find the total number of data points.

The purpose of a line plot is to visually display data to easily see trends, frequencies, and comparisons.

The mode is the value that appears most frequently, which can be identified by the highest stack of 'X's.

A line plot shows data along a number line, while a bar graph uses bars to represent the frequency of categories.

Count the 'X's to the left of the specified percentage on the line plot.

This means that 5 data points have the value of 4.

It means that the same number of data points corresponds to both values.
