Grade 6 Statistics and Data Distributions Practice Test

Build Grade 6 Math skills with five 10-question practice tests on data displays, center, spread, distributions, line plots, samples, and evidence-based interpretation.

Statistics and Data Distributions Practice Tests

These Grade 6 Math practice tests help students read and interpret data displays, calculate mean, median, mode, and range, describe clusters and spread, analyze line plots with fractional values, and use samples to support conclusions.

Skills covered

  • Reading tables, charts, bar graphs, and line plots
  • Finding mean, median, mode, and range
  • Comparing center and spread in data distributions
  • Identifying clusters, outliers, frequency, and variation
  • Adding and interpreting fractional measurements on line plots
  • Understanding populations, samples, and representative data
  • Choosing appropriate graphs and recognizing misleading scales

How to use these practice tests

Read every label and scale before calculating. Order values when finding a median, use the total divided by the number of values for a mean, identify repeated values for a mode, and subtract the minimum from the maximum for a range. Use patterns and spread to support conclusions about the distribution.

Count the marks or entries: there are 55 ribbons.

2. QuestionMultiple choice

A line plot shows 2 marks at 1/2 inch, 3 marks at 1 inch, and 1 mark at 1 1/2 inches. Which length occurs most often?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is 11 inch.

  1. Read the data: Identify the values, labels, and display used in the question.
  2. Choose the statistic or comparison: The value 11 has 33 marks, the largest frequency.
  3. Check the result: Make sure the answer matches the data and uses the correct units or interpretation.

The value 11 has 33 marks, the largest frequency.

3. QuestionMultiple choice

What is the total length of 1/2 inch, 1 inch, and 1 1/2 inches?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is 33 inches.

  1. Read the data: Identify the values, labels, and display used in the question.
  2. Choose the statistic or comparison: Add the lengths: 1/2+1+11/2=31/2 + 1 + 1 1/2 = 3 inches.
  3. Check the result: Make sure the answer matches the data and uses the correct units or interpretation.

Add the lengths: 1/2+1+11/2=31/2 + 1 + 1 1/2 = 3 inches.

4. QuestionMultiple choice

A line plot has a least value of 2 1/4 inches and a greatest value of 5 1/4 inches. What is the range?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is 33 inches.

  1. Read the data: Identify the values, labels, and display used in the question.
  2. Choose the statistic or comparison: Subtract the least value from the greatest: 51/4−21/4=35 1/4 - 2 1/4 = 3 inches.
  3. Check the result: Make sure the answer matches the data and uses the correct units or interpretation.

Subtract the least value from the greatest: 51/4−21/4=35 1/4 - 2 1/4 = 3 inches.

5. QuestionMultiple choice

A line plot shows 4 marks at 3/4 mile. What does the 4 represent?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is The frequency of 3/4 mile..

  1. Read the data: Identify the values, labels, and display used in the question.
  2. Choose the statistic or comparison: The number of marks above a value is its frequency, so 44 is the frequency of 3/43/4 mile.
  3. Check the result: Make sure the answer matches the data and uses the correct units or interpretation.

The number of marks above a value is its frequency, so 44 is the frequency of 3/43/4 mile.

6. QuestionMultiple choice

A line plot has values 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, and 1 inch. Which value is greatest?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is 11 inch.

  1. Read the data: Identify the values, labels, and display used in the question.
  2. Choose the statistic or comparison: Among the listed values, 11 is greatest.
  3. Check the result: Make sure the answer matches the data and uses the correct units or interpretation.

Among the listed values, 11 is greatest.

7. QuestionMultiple choice

A line plot records 1/4, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, and 3/4. What is the mode?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is 1/41/4 and 3/43/4.

  1. Read the data: Identify the values, labels, and display used in the question.
