Data can be shown as a list of numbers or a table of numbers and words. A line plot is a visual way to organize and present the same data. Line plots,
sometimes called dot plots, use a number line and dots to show the
information. They can make data easier to read, understand, and interpret.
The students in the video made a line plot about how many siblings they
have. You can easily see that two students in the class have o siblings and
one has 6. Most have a number in between.
