EXAMPLE 2 Making a Line Plot SOLUTION • Make a line plot of the data. • There are 22 x marks in all, so the total number of students is 22.
EXAMPLE 2 Making a Line Plot SOLUTION • Make a line plot of the data. • There are 22 x marks in all, so the total number of students is 22. • The total number of x marks above the numbers 4, 5 and 6 is six, so six students read four or more books.
GUIDED PRACTICE for Example 2 MULTIPLE REPRESENTATIONS The following data show the numbers of letters in students’ names. Use the data in Exercises 3–5. 6, 5, 4, 4, 5, 3, 9, 8, 6, 4, 3, 4, 7, 5, 4, 3, 8, 4, 9, 3 • Make a frequency table of the data. • Make a line plot of the data. • Use it to find out whether more students have names with 3 letters or names with 7 or more letters. Describe which display you choose and how you use it to answer the question.
