How can you find the total number of data points from a frequency table?

Back

To find the total number of data points, add all the frequencies (counts) together.

Front

What is the relationship between dot plots and frequency tables?

Back

Dot plots and frequency tables both display data, but dot plots use visual dots while frequency tables use numbers to show counts.

Front

What does it mean if a dot plot has more dots above a certain value?

Back

If a dot plot has more dots above a certain value, it means that value occurs more frequently in the data set.
