Question

A rope is measured $6$ times and the data is recorded in Table $1$. Another rope is measured and its length each time is $1$ inch lesser than the length of the previous rope (Table $1$). Choose the correct line plot for the $2$nd rope. What is the most common length of the rope?

• A.
• B.
• C.
• D.

Answer 1

The correct option is D


Lengths of the $2$nd rope:
$43$ inches long $-A5$ and $A6$
$44$ inches long $-A1,A3$, and $A4$
$45$ inches long $-A2$
The line plot in Option C represents the same numbers.
The most common length of the $2$nd rope is $44$ inches.
Hence, the answer is Option C.
