Which type of data is best represented using a line plot? A. data that changes over timeB. data that is spread out over a large range of numbers frequencyC. data that can be plotted under categorical headings frequencyD. data that can be plotted on a number line
Accepted Solution
A:
Answer with explanation:In a Line plot, we draw a number line, mark distinct variate on it.In front of each variate, we mark points to represent total frequency of each variate.For, example :A. When data changes over time, Suppose at time ,A,value of that thing was 3. at B,it was 5, at time C , it was 7,.......Mark , A, B and C,.. on number line and put three dots in front of A, 5 dots in front of B, 7 dots in front of C,....But Bar graph,or Histogram is best suited for this Model .B.Suppose, Data set is not discrete Data Frequency 1 3 2 4 3 6 4 8 5 4 6 12..........................................Make number line. Mark Data which are numbers, on the number line, and Represent frequency over each variate either by point or any other sign.⇒Most Appropriate for Line Plot.C:Categorical Heading Frequency A 4AB 5ABC 8A CD 12Draw a Number line,Instead of marking numbers, mark heading at equal Distances and represent frequency through any Sign, above each Categorical Data.⇒Appropriate for Line Plot but bar graph most suited.D: You need frequency , along data .So, alone Data is not sufficient for , Line plot. ⇒≡Option B and Option C, are best suited for line Plot.Going with→ Option B⇒Data that is spread out over a large range of numbers frequency.
