Question

Gerald asked the students in his class how many pets they have. The results of the survey are:

0, 1, 3, 0, 2, 3, 5, 1, 0, 0, 2, 1.

Which type of graph would best display the data?
bar graph
line graph
line plot
stem and leaf plot

Answer 1

Line plot.

Reason: these are small, discrete counts (0–5). A line plot (dot plot) shows each value and its frequency clearly. A line graph is for trends over time; a stem-and-leaf is unnecessary here.
