Math SOL 5.16 Stem and Leaf and Line Plot Practice

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 mark represents a data point.

Front

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

Back

Count the total number of marks or symbols on the line plot.

Front

What does a stem-and-leaf plot represent?

Back

A stem-and-leaf plot is a way to display quantitative data where each number is split into a 'stem' (the leading digit) and a 'leaf' (the trailing digit).

Front

How do you determine the number of items represented in a stem-and-leaf plot?

Back

Count the number of leaves in the plot; each leaf represents one data point.

Front

What is the purpose of using a stem-and-leaf plot?

Back

It helps to organize and display data while preserving the original values.

Front

How can you identify the least value in a line plot?

Back

Look for the leftmost mark on the line plot; it represents the smallest value.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

How do you interpret a stem-and-leaf plot?

Back

Read the stems vertically and the leaves horizontally to understand the distribution of data.

Front

What is the significance of the 'stem' in a stem-and-leaf plot?

Back

The stem represents the leading digits of the data values.

Front

What is the significance of the 'leaf' in a stem-and-leaf plot?

Back

The leaf represents the trailing digits of the data values.
