Line Plots

Front

What is a line plot?

Back

A line plot is a graph that shows the frequency of data along a number line, where each mark represents a data point.

Front

How do you read a line plot?

Back

To read a line plot, look at the number line to see the values and count the marks above each value to determine the frequency.

Front

What does each mark on a line plot represent?

Back

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

Front

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

Back

To find the total number of data points, add up all the marks on the line plot.

Front

What is the mode in a data set?

Back

The mode is the value that appears most frequently in a data set.

Front

How do you determine the mode from a line plot?

Back

The mode can be determined by identifying the value with the highest number of marks on the line plot.

Front

What is the range of a data set?

Back

The range is the difference between the highest and lowest values in a data set.

Front

How do you calculate the range from a line plot?

Back

To calculate the range, subtract the smallest value from the largest value represented on the line plot.

Front

What does it mean if a line plot has more marks at a certain value?

Back

If a line plot has more marks at a certain value, it indicates that more data points fall at that value, showing higher frequency.

Front

How can you compare two values on a line plot?

Back

You can compare two values by looking at the number of marks above each value and determining which has more.
