Question

The line plot shows the measurement of liquids in eight identical beakers. If you wanted to put the same amount of liquid in each beaker how much would there be? The liquid is measured in milliliters. A) 5/16 ml B) 1/2 ml C) 1/4 ml D) 3/32 ml.

Answer 1

To find the amount of liquid that would be in each beaker, you would need to calculate the mean, or the average.

To do this you would create the following data set from your line plot.

1/8, 1/4, 3/8, 3/8, 3/8, 3/4, 3/4, 1

You would then add all these together and divide by 8.

4/8 = 1/2

The answer is B, 1/2 ml in each.
