Question

A book is measured 8 times using paper clips. Choose the correct line plot. What is the most common length of the book?

• A.
• B.
• C.
• D.

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Measurement of the book:
$5$ paper clips long: $T1,T3,T6$, and $T8$
$6$ paper clips long: $T2$ and $T5$
$7$ paper clips long: $T4$ and $T7$
The line plot in Option A represents the same numbers.
The most common length of the book is $5$ paper clips as it is repeated the most number of times.
Hence, Option A is the correct answer.
