What will be an ideal response?


A time plot is simply a graphical display of a variable’s values over some unit of time (year, month, week, etc.). It is actually a type of line graph where the height of the line on the y axis reflects some attribute of the value (a frequency or a percent) and its length is marked off in units of time on the x axis. In such a time plot, we can easily determine the value of the variable at any given point in time. They are very useful when studying some phenomenon’s change over time.
