HEIGHTS OF TOMATO PLANTS


Height (feet)


What was the difference in height between the tallest plant and the shortest


A 1/4 foot


B 2/4 foot


C 3/4 foot


D 4/4 foot

Answer 1

Difference = 2/4

Explanation:

Line Plot is a graph that presents data through number line. Here, possible values of considered variable are on number line, & their frequency is denoted by number of dots or crosses above.

As per given line plot for tomato plants heights, 3 plants have height = 1/4, 5 plants have height = 1/2, 4 plants have height = 3/4.

1/4 < 1/2 < 3/4 , 1/4 is the shortest height & 3/4 the longest height of plants. So, difference between smallest & largest height value, ie range = Highest Value - Lowest Value = 3/4 - 1/4 = 2/4
