line plots

How can you use a line plot to compare two sets of data?

• You can place two line plots on the same number line to visually compare the frequencies of the two data sets.

• You can create a bar graph to represent the data sets side by side.

• You can use a pie chart to show the proportions of each data set.

• You can plot the data points separately without any comparison.

How do you read a line plot?

• You read a line plot by looking at the marks (usually Xs or dots) above each number to see how many times each value occurs.

• You read a line plot by counting the total number of marks without considering their position.

• You read a line plot by connecting the dots to form a continuous line and interpreting the slope.

• You read a line plot by identifying the highest mark and ignoring the rest.

What does each mark on a line plot represent?

• Each mark on a line plot represents one occurrence of a value.

• Each mark on a line plot represents the average of all values.

• Each mark on a line plot represents the maximum value in the data set.

• Each mark on a line plot represents a cumulative total of values.

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

• You can look at the marks to quickly find totals, modes, and other statistics.

• You can only see the highest value in the data set.

• You can determine the average by counting the number of marks.

• You can identify outliers by looking for gaps in the marks.

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

• It means that there were no occurrences of that value in the data set.

• It indicates that the value is the highest in the data set.

• It suggests that the value is an outlier in the data set.

• It shows that the data set is incomplete.

What is a line plot?

• A graph that shows the frequency of data along a number line.

• A type of chart that displays data in bars.

• A diagram that represents data using dots and lines.

• A visual representation of data using pie segments.

How can you find the total number of data points from a line plot?

• By counting all the marks on the line plot.

• By measuring the length of the line plot.

• By estimating the average of the data points.

• By analyzing the slope of the line.

What is the purpose of a line plot?

• To display data in a way that makes it easy to see patterns and frequencies.

• To represent data using bars to compare different categories.

• To show the relationship between two variables using a scatter plot.

• To summarize data using a single value, such as the mean.
