Question

(a) Describe how a line plot and a box-and-whisker graph are similar. (Select all that apply.)

1. A line plot and a box-and-whisker graph both display the mean of the data.

2. A line plot and a box-and-whisker graph show us each individual data point.

3. A line plot and a box-and-whisker graph are both a five-number summary.

4. A line plot and a box-and-whisker graph both give the lowest and highest value.

5. You can see clusters and gaps in a line plot. You can infer them in a box-and-whisker graph.


(b) Describe how a stem-and-leaf plot and a histogram are similar. (Select all that apply.)

1. A stem-and-leaf plot and a histogram both display the mean of the data.

2. A stem-and-leaf plot is like a histogram that is turned on its side.

3. A stem-and-leaf plot and a histogram only give the frequency of each amount and not individual amounts.

4. A stem-and-leaf plot and a histogram only display intervals.

5. A stem-and-leaf plot and a histogram both display individual values in rows

Explanation / Answer
