Answer 1

The value 1/8 will have 1 dot above it.

The value 1/4 will have 2 dots above it.

The value 3/8 will have 3 dots above it.

The value 1/2 will have 4 dots above it.

The value 5/8 will have 2 dots above it.

The value 3/4 will have 3 dots above it.

Answer 2

try again

Answer 3

I apologize for the mistake. Let me recalculate:

The value 1/8 will have 1 dot above it.

The value 1/4 will have 2 dots above it.

The value 3/8 will have 3 dots above it.

The value 1/2 will have 4 dots above it.

The value 5/8 will have 2 dots above it.

The value 3/4 will have 3 dots above it.

Answer 4

sorry try again carefully and show all your work.

Answer 5

Sure, let's carefully calculate the dots above each data value:

Weights of Potatoes (in pounds): 1/4, 3/8, 5/8, 1/2, 5/8, 1/2, 1/2, 3/4, 1/4, 1/8, 3/4, 1/2, 3/8, 1/2, 3/4, 3/8

Now, let's count the occurrences of each data value:

1/8: 1 occurrence
1/4: 2 occurrences
3/8: 3 occurrences
1/2: 4 occurrences
5/8: 2 occurrences
3/4: 3 occurrences

Therefore, the number of dots above each data value in a line plot of this data would be as follows:

1/8: 1 dot above it
1/4: 2 dots above it
3/8: 3 dots above it
1/2: 4 dots above it
5/8: 2 dots above it
3/4: 3 dots above it

Thank you for your patience, and I hope this answer is accurate and clear.
