To determine which two lengths would have the same number of dots in a line plot, we need to look at the frequency of each string length based on the provided data:

  • 3 1/2 (3.5) occurs twice
  • 2 3/4 (2.75) occurs three times
  • 4 occurs twice
  • 3 1/4 (3.25) occurs once
  • 1/2 (0.5) occurs once

From these frequencies, we can see that:

  • Length 3 1/2 appears 2 times
  • Length 2 3/4 appears 3 times
  • Length 4 appears 2 times
  • Length 3 1/4 appears 1 time
  • Length 1/2 appears 1 time

The lengths that have the same number of occurrences (dots) are:

  • 3 1/2 and 4 (both appear 2 times).

Therefore, the correct response would be: 4 and 3 1/2 (3.5).
