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.

How do you find the range of a set of data?

Back

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

Front

What is the purpose of a line plot?

Back

A line plot helps to visualize data, making it easier to see patterns, trends, and the distribution of values.

Front

How can you determine the tallest and shortest plants from a line plot?

Back

The tallest plant corresponds to the highest value on the line plot, while the shortest plant corresponds to the lowest value.

Front

What is the total number of items represented in a line plot?

Back

The total number of items is the sum of all the frequencies (the number of X's) shown on the line plot.

Front

How do you calculate the combined weight of items from a line plot?

Back

To calculate the combined weight, add the weights of all items represented by the X's in the line plot.

Front

What does it mean if a line plot has more X's above a certain number?

Back

It means that more items have that value, indicating a higher frequency for that measurement.

Front

What is the significance of the intervals on a line plot?

Back

Intervals on a line plot represent the scale of measurement and help to categorize the data points.

Front

How do you interpret the data from a line plot?

Back

To interpret data, look at the number of X's above each value to understand how many times that value occurs.
