Question

asked how many cups of flour they use in a loaf of banana bread.
amount of flour (cups)
3\frac{1}{4} 3\frac{1}{2} 3 2\frac{1}{4} 2\frac{3}{4} 2\frac{3}{4} 3\frac{1}{4} 3\frac{3}{4} 3\frac{1}{2} 2\frac{1}{2} 3\frac{1}{2} 4\frac{1}{4}

Explanation:

Step1: Count the frequency of each value

• For \(2\frac{1}{4}\): count the number of times \(2\frac{1}{4}\) appears in the data list. It appears \(1\) time.
• For \(2\frac{1}{2}\): count. It appears \(1\) time.
• For \(2\frac{3}{4}\): count. It appears \(2\) times.
• For \(3\): count. It appears \(1\) time.
• For \(3\frac{1}{4}\): count. It appears \(3\) times.
• For \(3\frac{1}{2}\): count. It appears \(3\) times.
• For \(3\frac{3}{4}\): count. It appears \(1\) time.
• For \(4\frac{1}{4}\): count. It appears \(1\) time.

Step2: Place X's on the line - plot

• Place \(1\) X above \(2\frac{1}{4}\).
• Place \(1\) X above \(2\frac{1}{2}\).
• Place \(2\) X's above \(2\frac{3}{4}\).
• Place \(1\) X above \(3\).
• Place \(3\) X's above \(3\frac{1}{4}\).
• Place \(3\) X's above \(3\frac{1}{2}\).
• Place \(1\) X above \(3\frac{3}{4}\).
• Place \(1\) X above \(4\frac{1}{4}\).

Answer:

The line - plot should have:

• \(1\) X at \(2\frac{1}{4}\)
• \(1\) X at \(2\frac{1}{2}\)
• \(2\) X's at \(2\frac{3}{4}\)
• \(1\) X at \(3\)
• \(3\) X's at \(3\frac{1}{4}\)
• \(3\) X's at \(3\frac{1}{2}\)
• \(1\) X at \(3\frac{3}{4}\)
• \(1\) X at \(4\frac{1}{4}\)
