Line Plots

Front

What is a line plot?

Back

A line plot is a type of graph that displays data along a number line, showing the frequency of data points above each value.

Front

How do you create a line plot?

Back

To create a line plot, you first draw a horizontal line (number line), then mark the data points above the corresponding values, indicating how many times each value occurs.

Front

What does each 'X' represent in a line plot?

Back

Each 'X' in a line plot represents one occurrence of a data point at a specific value.

Front

How can you determine the mode from a line plot?

Back

The mode is the value that appears most frequently in the data set, which can be identified by the highest stack of 'X's in the line plot.

Front

What is the purpose of a line plot?

Back

The purpose of a line plot is to visually represent data, making it easier to see trends, frequencies, and distributions.

Front

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

Back

To find the total number of data points, count all the 'X's in the line plot.

Front

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

Back

A line plot displays data points along a number line, while a bar graph uses bars to represent the frequency of categories.

Front

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

Back

You can use a line plot to quickly identify frequencies, modes, and ranges of data, which helps in answering application-based questions.

Front

What does it mean if a line plot has no 'X's above a value?

Back

If there are no 'X's above a value, it means that no data points in the set correspond to that value.

Front

How can you identify the range of data from a line plot?

Back

The range can be identified by subtracting the smallest value from the largest value represented on the line plot.
