Constructing and Interpreting Line Plots

The video tutorial explains how to create a line plot using a given data set. It starts by introducing the concept of a line plot and setting up a number line based on the data's range. The tutorial then demonstrates how to plot each data point by placing an 'X' above the corresponding number on the line. Finally, it analyzes the plot to determine the frequency of data points, specifically focusing on how many marks are placed above the number six.

What is the first step in creating a line plot?

• Placing Xs randomly

• Counting the data points

• Identifying the range of data values

• Drawing a vertical line

How do you construct a number line for a line plot?

• By drawing circles

• By listing only even numbers

• By marking numbers from the lowest to the highest value

• By using only prime numbers

What does each X represent on a line plot?

• A data point in the set

• A random guess

• A mathematical operation

• A missing data point

If a number appears three times in the data set, how many Xs should be placed above it?

• Four Xs

• Three Xs

• Two Xs

• One X

What should you do if a number appears multiple times in the data set?

• Place an X for each occurrence

• Place an X only if it appears more than twice

• Ignore the number

• Place one X for all occurrences

How many marks are placed above the number six in the given data set?

• Zero

• One

• Two

• Three

What does it mean if there is only one mark above a number on a line plot?

• The number is the average of the data set

• The number is not in the data set

• The number appears once in the data set

• The number is the highest in the data set
