dirt in jars
weight of dirt (ounces) number of jars
3 1/2 1
4 2
5 1/2 3
6 2

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze data from table

The table shows weights of dirt (3.5 ounces - 1 jar, 4 ounces - 2 jars, 5.5 ounces - 3 jars, 6 ounces - 2 jars)

Step2: Check each line - plot

In a line - plot, we put an 'x' for each data point. For 3.5 ounces, there should be 1 'x', for 4 ounces 2 'x's, for 5.5 ounces 3 'x's and for 6 ounces 2 'x's.

Answer:

The line - plot with 1 'x' at 3.5, 2 'x's at 4, 3 'x's at 5.5 and 2 'x's at 6.
