Create line plots (Tutorial Only)

Learning Objectives Identify the minimum, maximum, and range of a data set related to geometric figures. Construct a properly scaled and labeled number line for a given data set. Accurately plot the frequency of each data point on a line plot using 'X's or dots. Create a complete line plot, including a title and axis label, to represent data from two-dimensional figures. Interpret a line plot to identify clusters, gaps, and outliers in the data. Calculate the mean, median, and mode for a data set represented by a line plot. Imagine you've calculated the areas of 30 different triangular sails for a fleet of boats. How can you quickly see the most common sail size or the range of sizes at a single glance? 📊 This tutorial will teach you how to create a line plo...

TermDefinitionExample Line PlotA graph that shows the frequency of data along a number line. An 'X' or a dot is placed above each data value on the line for each time the value occurs.If the data set is {5, 6, 6, 8}, the line plot would have one 'X' above the number 5, two 'X's above the number 6, and one 'X' above the number 8 on a number line. Data SetA collection of numbers or values that relate to a particular subject. In this context, the values will be derived from properties of two-dimensional figures.The measures of the interior angles of a set of triangles: {60, 90, 45, 60, 80, 75, 90, 60}. FrequencyThe number of times a specific value appears in a data set.In the data set {2, 3, 3, 4, 3, 5}, the frequency of the value '3' is 3. C...

Range of a Data Set Range = Maximum Value - Minimum Value Used to determine the spread of the data. First, identify the largest and smallest values in your data set from the line plot, then subtract the minimum from the maximum. Mean (Average) \bar{x} = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^{n} x_i}{n} Used to find the central value of a data set. Sum all the data values (you can do this efficiently from the line plot by multiplying each value by its frequency) and divide by the total number of data points (the total count of 'X's). Median The middle value of an ordered data set. To find the median from a line plot, list the values in order as many times as they appear (indicated by the 'X's). The median is the value in the exact middle. If there are two middle values...
