Question

the frequency table shows the number of runs a baseball team scored in its games this season. kelly wants to analyze the data by showing it on a number line. plot the data on the number line. drag the sliders to show the frequency for each number of runs.

Explanation:

Step1: Count the frequency for each number of runs

• For \(0\) runs: The tally marks show \(4\) (since \(||||\) is \(4\)).
• For \(1\) run: The tally marks \(|||||\) (a group of \(5\)) and \(|\) (an extra \(1\)), so \(5 + 1=6\).
• For \(2\) runs: The tally marks \(||||\) (a group of \(4\)) and \(|\) (an extra \(1\)), so \(4+1 = 5\).
• For \(3\) runs: The tally marks \(||||\) (but actually \(3\) as \(|||\)).
• For \(4\) runs: The tally mark is \(|\) (so \(1\)).
• For \(5\) runs: The tally marks \(||\) (so \(2\)).
• For \(6\) runs: Frequency is \(0\).
• For \(7\) runs: Frequency is \(0\).
• For \(8\) runs: The tally mark is \(|\) (so \(1\)).

Step2: Plot the frequencies on the number line

• Drag the slider above \(0\) to \(4\).
• Drag the slider above \(1\) to \(6\).
• Drag the slider above \(2\) to \(5\).
• Drag the slider above \(3\) to \(3\).
• Drag the slider above \(4\) to \(1\).
• Drag the slider above \(5\) to \(2\).
• Keep the sliders above \(6\) and \(7\) at \(0\).
• Drag the slider above \(8\) to \(1\).

Answer:

Follow the above - described steps to correctly plot the frequencies ( \(0:4\), \(1:6\), \(2:5\), \(3:3\), \(4:1\), \(5:2\), \(6:0\), \(7:0\), \(8:1\)) on the number line.
