Question

Choose the line plot that correctly represents the tabulated data with its range being 1. (Round off the weights of the cakes to their nearest whole number).

• A. Plot B
• B. Plot C
• C. Plot D
• D. Plot A

Answer 1

The correct option is D Plot A

Rounding off the weights of the cakes to their nearest whole number, we get:

$1.5\text{lb}⟹2\text{lb}$

$\frac{7}{5}\text{lb}=1.4\text{lb}⟹1\text{lb}$

$\frac{6}{5}\text{lb}=1.2\text{lb}⟹1\text{lb}$

Tabulating the rounded off weights, we get:


Plotting this data on a line plot, we get:


$Range\left(spread\right)\text{of the plot}=2-1=1lb$

$\therefore \text{The correct line plot is plot A.}$
