A construction of the line plot for the length, in inches, of several nails is shown in the image attached below.
In Mathematics and Statistics, a line plot is a type of graph that is used for the graphical representation of data set above a number line, while using crosses, dots, or any other mathematical symbol.
In this scenario and exercise, we would make use of an online graphing calculator (tool) to graphically represent the given length (in yards) of several nails on a line plot as shown in the image attached below;
Length Frequency
1/2 2
5/16 4
1/8 2
3/8 1
3/16 1
In conclusion, we can reasonably infer and logically deduce that the mode of the data set is equal to 5/16 because it has the highest frequency of 4.
Complete Question;
This table shows the length, in inches, of several nails.
Length (in) 1/2, 5/16, 1/8, 1/2, 3/8, 5/16, 5/16, 3/16, 5/16, 1/8.
Create a line plot to display this data. To create a line plot, hover over each number on the number line. Then click and drag up to plot the data.
