Harold measures the heights in inches of the new plants that are growing in his greenhouse.
He records the lengths shown below and wants to plot them on a line plot.
19.5 21.5 18.0 19.5 19.25 19.5 21.0
18.25 20.5 18.75 19.0 19.0 19.25 22.0
Use the drop-down menus to complete the following sentences about the line plot.
The line plot has
Choose...
dots plotted on it.
The least value plotted on the line plot is
Choose...
.
The greatest value plotted on the line plot is
Choose...
.
The height of
Choose...
inches occurs the most often
on the line plot.
The line plot has
Choose...dots plotted on it.
The least value plotted on the line plot is
Choose...18.0.
The greatest value plotted on the line plot is
Choose...22.0.
The height of
Choose...19.5 inches occurs the most often.
To complete the sentences about the line plot, we will analyze the given data.
The line plot has: dots plotted on it.
To find the least and greatest value plotted on the line plot, we need to sort the given data in ascending order:
18.0, 18.25, 18.75, 19.0, 19.0, 19.25, 19.25, 19.5, 19.5, 19.5, 20.5, 21.0, 21.5, 22.0.
The least value plotted on the line plot is: 18.0 inches.
The greatest value plotted on the line plot is: 22.0 inches.
To determine the height that occurs the most often, we need to count the frequency of each value. Here is the frequency count for each height:
18.0: 1
18.25: 1
18.75: 1
19.0: 2
19.25: 2
19.5: 3
20.5: 1
21.0: 1
21.5: 1
22.0: 1
From the frequency count, we can see that the height of 19.5 inches occurs the most often.
