To determine the scale for the line plot of the given crayon lengths, we should find the minimum and maximum values in the data set.

The lengths of the crayons are:

  • 4
  • 2 1/2 (which is 2.5)
  • 3 1/2 (which is 3.5)
  • 3 3/4 (which is 3.75)
  • 3
  • 2 1/4 (which is 2.25)
  • 2 1/2 (which is 2.5)
  • 3 1/4 (which is 3.25)
  • 3

The minimum length is 2 1/4 (2.25) and the maximum length is 4.

Thus, the scale should begin at 2 1/4 and end at 4.

The correct response is: 2 1/4 and 4
