Question

leilas class measured the lengths of 8 leaves. draw a dot - plot for the lengths of the leaves. (a dot plot is sometimes called a \line plot\.) lengths of leaves (in inches): 3 3 3 3 3 3 3/4 3 3/4 4 1/4 4 2/4

Explanation:

Step1: Prepare the data values

The leaf - length values are \(3,3,3,3,3\frac{2}{4},3\frac{2}{4},4\frac{1}{4},4\frac{2}{4}\).

Step2: Set up the dot - plot

Draw a number line with the values from \(3\) to \(5\) marked at intervals of \(\frac{1}{4}\).

Step3: Place the dots

For the value \(3\), place \(4\) dots above the \(3\) on the number line.
For the value \(3\frac{2}{4}\), place \(2\) dots above \(3\frac{2}{4}\) on the number line.
For the value \(4\frac{1}{4}\), place \(1\) dot above \(4\frac{1}{4}\) on the number line.
For the value \(4\frac{2}{4}\), place \(1\) dot above \(4\frac{2}{4}\) on the number line.

Answer:

A dot - plot with 4 dots above 3, 2 dots above \(3\frac{2}{4}\), 1 dot above \(4\frac{1}{4}\) and 1 dot above \(4\frac{2}{4}\) on the number line representing leaf lengths.
