How do you read a line plot?

Back

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

Front

What is the purpose of a line plot?

Back

The purpose of a line plot is to visually represent data to easily identify trends, frequencies, and distributions.

Front

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

Back

To determine the total number of items, sum the frequencies indicated by the marks above each value on the line plot.

Front

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

Back

A higher frequency indicates that more data points fall at that value, suggesting it is more common or popular.

Front

How can you find the mode using a line plot?

Back

The mode can be found by identifying the value with the highest frequency on the line plot.

Front

What is the difference between a line plot and a bar graph?

Back

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

Front

How do you calculate the range of data from a line plot?

Back

The range is calculated 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 the categories or measurements.

Front

How can you use a line plot to answer questions about data?

Back

You can use a line plot to quickly assess frequencies, identify trends, and answer specific questions about the data.
