Looking at the worksheet, I need to create line plots for each of the 5 problems by counting how many times each number appears in the given set and then placing that many X marks above each number on the line plot.
Let me work through each problem one by one:
Problem 1:
Numbers: 7½, 6½, 7, 6, 7, 7½, 5, 6, 5½, 6½, 6, 7½, 5, 5½, 5½, 5
Counting each value:
- 5 appears 4 times
- 5½ appears 3 times
- 6 appears 3 times
- 6½ appears 2 times
- 7 appears 2 times
- 7½ appears 3 times
Line plot should show: 4 X's over 5, 3 X's over 5½, 3 X's over 6, 2 X's over 6½, 2 X's over 7, 3 X's over 7½
Problem 2:
Numbers: 8, 9½, 10, 8, 8½, 8, 8½, 10, 9, 9, 9, 9½, 10, 9½, 8½, 10½
Counting each value:
- 8 appears 3 times
- 8½ appears 3 times
- 9 appears 3 times
- 9½ appears 3 times
- 10 appears 3 times
- 10½ appears 1 time
Line plot should show: 3 X's over 8, 3 X's over 8½, 3 X's over 9, 3 X's over 9½, 3 X's over 10, 1 X over 10½
Problem 3:
Numbers: 4⅛, 2⅞, 4⅞, 4⅜, 4⅝, 2, 3⅜, 5⅜, 3⅜, 2⅞, 2⅝, 4⅛, 4, 2⅞, 3⅜, 4⅝
Counting each value:
- 2 appears 1 time
- 2⅝ appears 1 time
- 2⅞ appears 3 times
- 3⅜ appears 3 times
- 4 appears 1 time
- 4⅛ appears 2 times
- 4⅜ appears 1 time
- 4⅝ appears 2 times
- 4⅞ appears 1 time
- 5⅜ appears 1 time
Line plot should show: 1 X over 2, 1 X over 2⅝, 3 X's over 2⅞, 3 X's over 3⅜, 1 X over 4, 2 X's over 4⅛, 1 X over 4⅜, 2 X's over 4⅝, 1 X over 4⅞, 1 X over 5⅜
Problem 4:
Numbers: 5¼, 5¾, 4¾, 4¼, 5, 5¼, 4, 6, 4¼, 5, 6¼, 5¼, 6, 6, 6¼, 5
Counting each value:
- 4 appears 1 time
- 4¼ appears 2 times
- 4¾ appears 1 time
- 5 appears 3 times
- 5¼ appears 3 times
- 5¾ appears 1 time
- 6 appears 3 times
- 6¼ appears 2 times
Line plot should show: 1 X over 4, 2 X's over 4¼, 1 X over 4¾, 3 X's over 5, 3 X's over 5¼, 1 X over 5¾, 3 X's over 6, 2 X's over 6¼
Problem 5:
Numbers: 7⅛, 5⅜, 6¼, 7⅜, 5⅞, 5⅛, 5⅜, 6⅜, 6⅜, 6⅞, 7⅞, 5⅞, 7¼, 5⅛, 5⅜, 6⅜
Counting each value:
- 5⅛ appears 2 times
- 5⅜ appears 3 times
- 5⅞ appears 2 times
- 6¼ appears 1 time
- 6⅜ appears 4 times
- 6⅞ appears 1 time
- 7⅛ appears 1 time
- 7⅜ appears 1 time
- 7¼ appears 1 time
- 7⅞ appears 1 time
Line plot should show: 2 X's over 5⅛, 3 X's over 5⅜, 2 X's over 5⅞, 1 X over 6¼, 4 X's over 6⅜, 1 X over 6⅞, 1 X over 7⅛, 1 X over 7⅜, 1 X over 7¼, 1 X over 7⅞
Final Answer:
For each problem, count how many times each number appears in the list, then place that many X marks above each corresponding number on the line plot. For example, if the number 5 appears 4 times in the data set, put 4 X's above the 5 on the line plot. Do this for every unique number in each problem's data set.
