Task Preview

A class bounced a ball 18 times and recorded the data in a table. 

Make a line plot to display the data. (Graph shown when you download the file) 

A)   How many balls bounced 3 meters or higher? (15)

B)   How many balls bounced fewer than 3 meters? (3)

Based on the data, if we bounced the ball another time, what is the height likely to be? Why? (5 or 6 because in the 18 times we have bounced the ball, it has bounced to 5-6 meters more often than any other distance.)
