  • If a slice of a pie graph is the biggest, what does that mean?
    It is the least important
    It is always 50%
    It represents the largest part
    It represents zero
  • A pie graph must add up to…
    1%
    10%
    100%
    50%
  • If 50% of a pie graph is shaded, that means…
    All of the data
    Half of the data
    None of the data
    One tiny part
  • What is one thing a histogram does NOT show clearly?
    The shape of the data
    Which bin has the most
    Exact individual values
    Groups of data
  • A class wants to show how students voted: pizza, tacos, burgers, or salad. Which graph would make sense?
    Histogram
    Dot plot
    Pie graph
    Box plot
  • Which graph is best if you want to compare parts of one whole?
    Line plot only
    Histogram
    Pie graph
    Dot plot
  • To show how many students scored in each test score range: 60–69, 70–79, 80–89, 90–100, which graph should they use?
    Pie graph
    Picture only
    Histogram
    Dot plot
  • Which graph is best if you want to see data grouped into ranges?
    Pie graph
    Clock
    Dot plot
    Histogram
  • If one number has the tallest stack of dots, what does that usually show?
    The mode
    The title
    The median
    The range
  • If you want to know how many students scored 70 or higher, what should you do?
    Only look at the first bar
    Divide by 2
    Add the bars for 70 and above
    Count the title
  • Why do histogram bars touch?
    Because it is a dot plot
    Because the bars are decoration
    Because the graph is broken
    Because the data is grouped into number ranges
  • What does a histogram show?
    Names of people
    Parts of a whole
    Data in groups or intervals
    Individual dots
  • Which graph would be best to show favorite school lunch choices as parts of the whole class?
    Pie graph
    Dot plot
    Coordinate plane
    Number line
  • A histogram has the tallest bar at 80–89. What does that mean?
    There are no values in that range
    80–89 is the lowest range
    Every value is exactly 80
    Most data values are in the 80–89 range
  • If most dots are close together, the data is probably…
    Missing
    Clustered
    A pie graph
    Impossible
  • What does a pie graph show?
    A list of numbers only
    Dots on a number line
    Parts of a whole
    Bars that touch
  • Which graph is best if you want to see exact scores?
    Histogram
    Map
    Dot plot
    Pie graph
  • A dot plot has dots at 2, 3, 3, 4, 9. What do you notice?
    9 may be an outlier
    The data has no numbers
    2 is the largest number
    All numbers are the same
  • Why is a dot plot helpful?
    It only shows percentages
    It hides the data
    It is only used for words
    It shows exact data values
  • What does each dot usually represent on a dot plot?
    One bar
    One question
    One percent
    One data point
