Question

The table shows the length of pencils. Choose the correct line plot. What is the most common pencil length?

• A.
• B.
• C.
• D.

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Number of pencils that are $8$ inches long $=5$
Number of pencils that are $9$ inches long $=4$
Number of pencils that are $10$ inches long $=4$
Number of pencils that are $11$ inches long $=2$
Number of pencils that are $12$ inches long $=1$
The line plot in Option B represents the same numbers.
The most common pencil length is 8 inches as it is repeated the most number of times.
Hence, Option B is the correct answer.
