samedy make a line plot of the data . he counts 24 dots above the number line. he decides that the total number or brothers and sisters that the class has 24
To create the line plot, draw a horizontal number line with the numbers representing the number of brothers and sisters in the class (e.g., 0, 1, 2, 3, and so on). Then, mark a dot above the corresponding number for each student in the class.
After placing 24 dots above the number line, the line plot should show a dot above the numbers representing the siblings for each student in the class.
For example: If the data shows that in the class of 30 students, the number of siblings each student has are 1, 0, 2, 3, 1, 2, 0, 4, 2, 1, 3, 0, 1, 2, 1, 2, 0, 1, 2, 0, 3, 1, 0, 2, 3, 2, 1, 3, 0, 1.
The line plot would have dots above the number line at:
- 0: 10 dots
- 1: 10 dots
- 2: 6 dots
- 3: 4 dots
- 4: 1 dot
This would result in a total of 24 dots above the number line, representing the number of brothers and sisters each student has in the class.
