pdf Line Plots

This worksheet provides structured practice interpreting line plots in two engaging, real-world contexts. Students analyze a line plot representing student birthdays by month and a second line plot showing the number of books read during a summer reading program. Through guided questions, students interpret frequency, determine measures of center, calculate totals, and analyze probability.

In the first scenario, students determine the total number of students, identify the mode, compare frequencies across months, and calculate the probability of selecting a student with a specific birth month. In the second scenario, students analyze numerical data to determine the total number of observations, identify an outlier, calculate the median and mean, and compute the total number of books read.

By working across both categorical and numerical contexts, students strengthen their ability to interpret graphical displays, calculate measures of center, analyze variability, and apply probability concepts within data analysis.
