Answer 1

To complete the line plot based on the data provided, we first need to tally the occurrences of each weight of candy (in ounces) from the list.

Here are the weights provided:

• 1 ounce: 10 occurrences
• 2 ounces: 6 occurrences
• 3 ounces: 1 occurrence
• 4 ounces: 4 occurrences

Now, we can represent this data on a line plot:

Weights of Candy (Ounces)
      |
4     |   X X X X 
3     |   X
2     |   X X X X X X
1     |   X X X X X X X X X X
      ------------------------
      1   2   3   4

Here’s how to read the line plot:

• For 1 ounce, there are 10 X's.
• For 2 ounces, there are 6 X's.
• For 3 ounces, there is 1 X.
• For 4 ounces, there are 4 X's.

Feel free to simulate this by marking X's on a number line if you have a physical or digital version available!
