To determine which statements are true about the line plot data, we would need to analyze the line plot itself. Since I cannot see the plot, I'll guide you through assessing each statement based on the information that would be in the plot:
1. **There were 4 pencils longer than 6 inches.**
- Check the portion of the line plot that corresponds to lengths longer than 6 inches (e.g., 6.5 inches, 7 inches, etc.). Count how many pencils are represented there.
2. **The most common length for the pencils was 6 inches long.**
- Look for the length that has the highest frequency on the line plot. If 6 inches has the highest count, this statement is true.
3. **There were exactly 4 pencils that were shorter than 6 inches.**
- Count the number of pencils represented at lengths shorter than 6 inches (e.g., 5 inches, 5.5 inches). If it equals 4, this statement is true.
4. **There were the same number of pencils that measured 5.5 inches and 6.5 inches.**
- Compare the counts for 5.5 inches and 6.5 inches. If they are equal, this statement is true.
5. **There were a total of 14 pencils measured.**
- Add up all the counts for each pencil length indicated on the plot. If the total is 14, this statement is true.
6. **There were 3 pencils that measured 5.5 inches long.**
- Check the count for the length of 5.5 inches. If it equals 3, this statement is true.
By counting and analyzing the data on the line plot, you can determine which three of these statements are true. If you can provide the counts or details from the line plot, I can help clarify further!
