Understanding Data with Line Plots

The video tutorial teaches how to understand data from a story problem by using a line plot. Peter measures the heights of students in his class and records the data. The tutorial demonstrates how to create a line plot from this data, starting with the lowest measurement and adding dots for each student. It then shows how to analyze the plot to answer questions about the data, such as identifying the shortest and tallest groups and comparing the number of students taller or shorter than specific heights. The lesson concludes by highlighting the ease of answering questions using a line plot.

What is the total number of students measured by Peter?

What can we conclude about the students who are 48 inches tall?

How does showing data on a line plot help in understanding the data?
