A double-line graph is appropriate since it shows change over time for two things. It also allows you to compare two things. Determine the scale and interval for each data set of data. Time should be plotted on the horizontal axis because it is independent. Plot a point for each pair of values. Connect the points using line segments. Title the graph and label the horizontal and vertical scales. Weights of Twin Babies Weight (lb.) Boys 1 1 Age (d) Girls. line 1. double line. bar. circle.

The scale is separated into equal parts, called intervals. Use the data to determine the lengths of the bars. Draw bars of equal width. Title the graph and label the horizontal and vertical scales.

Repeating the experiment many times gives a more accurate picture of experimental probabilities.. The event is as likely to happen as not.. There are outcomes for each number cube, any combination of the two cubes will be an outcome of an experiment consisting of rolling two number cubes. So, there are outcomes in the sample space of rolling two standard number cubes.
