Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 5.87 Graph Data Clearly (Bar, Line, Line Plot) skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery
A team must present two results: daily terrarium temperature and insect counts at four locations. Which pair of graphs should they use?
Abar graph for both results
Bline plot for temperature and table only for insect counts
Cline graph for both results
Dline graph for daily temperature and bar graph for insect counts by location
Solution & Explanation:Daily temperature changes over time, while insect counts compare location categories.
Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery
Which axis setup is most helpful when graphing plant height each week?
Ax-axis = height (cm), y-axis = week number
Bx-axis = plant color, y-axis = week number
Cx-axis = week number, y-axis = height (cm)
Dx-axis = title, y-axis = label
Solution & Explanation:Week number is the time variable, so it belongs on the x-axis. Height is the measured amount on the y-axis.
Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery
Why are line plots especially useful for repeated measurements from many objects?
AThey always prove a cause-and-effect relationship.
BThey show each individual value and how often it occurs.
CThey remove the need for scales and units.
DThey can only be used with category names.
Solution & Explanation:Line plots make repeated measurements, clusters, and outliers easy to see.
