Use the data in the list to complete the line plot below.

Answer 1

To create a line plot using the puppy weights you've provided, we first need to organize the data and count the frequency of each weight. The weights you provided (with the duplicates removed for simplicity) are:

• 1 pound: appears 8 times
• 2 pounds: appears 1 time
• 3 pounds: appears 1 time
• 4 pounds: appears 6 times

Here’s a summary of the frequencies:

• Weight 1: 8
• Weight 2: 1
• Weight 3: 1
• Weight 4: 6

Now, to complete a line plot, typically you would have a horizontal line where you place marks or "X"s above each weight corresponding to its frequency. Here’s how it would look:

Weight: 
1 | XXXXXXXXXX   (8)
2 | X            (1)
3 | X            (1)
4 | XXXXXX       (6)

You can plot this on graph paper or with a digital tool, marking the number of times you have 'X's or dots above each weight, creating a visual representation of the frequencies for the puppy weights.
