Question 7: When comparing two different sets of data


on the same graph, what should you look for?

A) The total number of data points


Answer Key Section: Rationale: A plateau in a line graph indicates that the
values are steady over time, with no significant increase
Question 1: What does a bar graph primarily display? or decrease.

Answer: B Question 10: Why is it important to consider the scale of


a graph when interpreting it?
Rationale: A bar graph is used to show the frequency of
categories, making it easier to compare different groups. Answer: C

Question 2: In a pie chart, what does each slice Rationale: The scale of a graph can influence the
represent? perception of the data, potentially exaggerating or
minimizing trends and differences.
Answer: B

Rationale: Each slice of a pie chart represents a


percentage of the whole, allowing for easy comparison
of parts to a total.

Question 3: When interpreting a line graph, what does


the slope of the line indicate?

Answer: B

Rationale: The slope of the line in a line graph indicates


the rate of change, showing how one variable changes
in relation to another.

Question 4: Which of the following best describes a


histogram?

Answer: B

Rationale: A histogram is a bar graph that displays the


frequency distribution of numerical data with equal
intervals on the x-axis.

Question 5: If a graph shows an upward trend, what can


we infer about the data?

Answer: C

Rationale: An upward trend indicates that the values are


increasing over time, suggesting growth or improvement.

Question 6: What is the primary use of a box plot?

Answer: B

Rationale: A box plot is used to identify the median,


quartiles, and potential outliers in a data set, providing a
summary of the distribution.

Question 7: When comparing two different sets of data


on the same graph, what should you look for?

Answer: C

Rationale: It is important to look for patterns and


differences in trends to understand how the two data
sets relate to each other.

Question 8: What does a scatter plot typically show?

Answer: A

Rationale: A scatter plot displays the relationship


between two quantitative variables, helping to identify
correlations.

Question 9: If a line graph shows a plateau, what does


that indicate?

Answer: B
