Line Plots

How can you tell which number is the most common in a line plot?

• The number with the most marks above it is the most common.

• The number that appears first in the plot is the most common.

• The number with the highest value is the most common.

• The number that is furthest to the right is the most common.

What does it mean if a number has no marks above it in a line plot?

• It means that number did not occur in the data.

• It means that number occurred only once in the data.

• It means that number is the highest in the data set.

• It means that number is the average of the data.

Can a line plot show data for more than one category?

• Yes, a line plot can show multiple categories simultaneously.

• No, a line plot typically shows data for one category at a time.

• Yes, but only if the categories are closely related.

• No, line plots are only for categorical data.

How do you create a line plot?

• Draw a number line, then place a mark above the number for each occurrence of that value.

• Use a bar graph to represent the data visually.

• Create a pie chart to show the proportions of each value.

• List the values in a table format without any graphical representation.

Why is it important to understand line plots?

• It helps us analyze data and make decisions based on that data.

• It is a method to create artistic representations of data.

• It allows us to ignore data trends and focus on individual data points.

• It is only useful for mathematical calculations.

What is a line plot?

• A method to display data in a table format.

• A way to display data along a number line, showing how many times each value occurs.

• A graphical representation of data using bars.

• A technique to summarize data using averages.

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

• A line plot uses bars to show the amount of each category, while a bar graph shows data along a number line.

• A line plot shows data along a number line, while a bar graph uses bars to show the amount of each category.

• A line plot and a bar graph are the same and can be used interchangeably.

• A line plot is used for categorical data, while a bar graph is used for continuous data.

How do you read a line plot?

• You look at the marks above the numbers to see how many times each number appears.

• You count the total number of marks on the plot.

• You only consider the highest mark on the plot.

• You ignore the numbers and focus on the colors of the marks.

What does each mark on a line plot represent?

• Each mark represents one occurrence of a value.

• Each mark represents the average of all values.

• Each mark represents the maximum value in the data set.

• Each mark represents a different category of data.

If 3 students have 1 pet, 2 students have 2 pets, and 1 student has 3 pets, how would this look on a line plot?

• There would be 2 marks above 1, 3 marks above 2, and 1 mark above 3.

• There would be 3 marks above 1, 1 mark above 2, and 2 marks above 3.

• There would be 3 marks above 1, 2 marks above 2, and 1 mark above 3.

• There would be 1 mark above 1, 2 marks above 2, and 3 marks above 3.
