Question

the students in a biology class each got a pepper plant, and they tracked the number of days it took for each one to produce its first pepper. they plan to display the results with a line plot. which of the following will it clearly show? select all that apply. the total number of peppers produced the mode of the number of days the plants took to produce their first pepper the number of plants that took 65 days to produce their first pepper the number of days each plant took to produce its first pepper

Explanation:

• A line plot is used to show the frequency of data values. Let's analyze each option:
• "the total number of peppers produced": A line plot isn't suitable for showing total count of a variable (peppers produced) in this context as it's about days to produce first pepper, not total peppers.
• "the mode of the number of days the plants took to produce their first pepper": The mode is the most frequent value. A line plot can show the frequency of each number of days, so we can identify the mode from it.
• "the number of plants that took 65 days to produce their first pepper": A line plot can show the frequency (number of plants) for each number of days, so we can see how many plants took 65 days.
• "the number of days each plant took to produce its first pepper": A line plot can display the number of days (data values) and their frequencies (number of plants with that number of days), so it can show the number of days each plant took (by showing the frequency of each day value).

Answer:

• the mode of the number of days the plants took to produce their first pepper
• the number of plants that took 65 days to produce their first pepper
• the number of days each plant took to produce its first pepper
