Measurement Data: Line Plot

The video tutorial explains how to create and interpret a line plot. It begins by defining a line plot and its purpose, followed by gathering data from a bake sale. The data is then ordered from least to greatest, and a number line is drawn with appropriate increments. The tutorial guides viewers on marking data occurrences on the number line and interpreting the completed line plot to answer questions about the data. The process is summarized at the end.
