A line plot is used to show data along a ___ line.

Number

True or False: Line plots can only display whole numbers.

False. Line plots can display fractions as well.

What is the mode in a set of data represented in a line plot?

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

If a line plot shows 3 Xs above 1/2 and 2 Xs above 3/4, how many total measurements were recorded?

5 measurements were recorded.

Fill in the blank: Each mark on a line plot represents ___ piece(s) of data.

One

What does it mean if there are no Xs above a certain value on a line plot?

It means that there were no measurements recorded for that value.

How do you find the range of data from a line plot?

Subtract the smallest value from the largest value.

If the smallest measurement is 1/4 and the largest is 1, what is the range?

The range is 1 - 1/4 = 3/4.

True or False: Equivalent fractions can appear in a line plot at different locations.

False. Equivalent fractions occupy the same position on a number line.

What does it indicate if a line plot has a tall stack of Xs at a certain value?

It indicates that many measurements were recorded at that value.

If you have data points: 1/4, 1/4, 1/2, what is the total of these measurements?

1/4 + 1/4 + 1/2 = 1.

Fill in the blank: To create a line plot, you must first ___ your data.

Organize

If a line plot shows 2 Xs above 1/8, what is the total contribution of this measurement to the sum?

2 × 1/8 = 2/8 = 1/4.

What is the purpose of labeling a number line in a line plot?

Labeling indicates what the numbers represent, such as inches or cups.

If you count 4 Xs above 1/2 and 3 Xs above 3/4, how many measurements are greater than 1/2?

3 measurements are greater than 1/2 (those above 3/4).

True or False: A line plot can help you make predictions about future data.

True. It can help identify patterns for future measurements.

If a line plot shows values of 1/4, 1/4, and 1/2, what is the most common value?

1/4 is the most common value.

Fill in the blank: Data points that are far away from others are called ___.

Outliers

What must be done if a value appears more than once on a line plot?

The Xs must be stacked directly above each other.

If a line plot contains the numbers 1/4, 1/2, and 3/4, how would you plot 1/4 if it appears twice?

You would place two Xs directly stacked above the 1/4 mark.

How can you find the total sum of all measurements from a line plot?

Multiply each value by the number of Xs above it and then add all the products together.

If the line plot shows 3 Xs at 2/4, what is the total contribution of this value?

3 × 2/4 = 6/4 = 3/2.

Fill in the blank: A number line helps to see where ___ are placed.

Fractions

If a line plot indicates 1/2 appears 5 times, what is the total length represented by this measurement?

5 × 1/2 = 5/2.

True or False: A line plot can only represent data that fits perfectly on a number line.

True. Data must be representable on a number line.

If you need to find how many data points are less than 3/4, what should you do?

Count all Xs that are to the left of 3/4 on the line plot.
