1. Identify the data values. (For example, suppose Jacob and his father measured the scrap wood and recorded the following lengths in feet:  
  $$2,\; 2,\; 3,\; 3,\; 3,\; 4,\; 4,\; 5$$.)  
  If you have different data, use those numbers instead.

2. Determine the range of the data. In our example, the smallest length is $$2$$ and the largest is $$5$$.

3. Draw a horizontal number line that covers the range from the lowest to the highest value. Mark each whole number (or appropriate increment) along the line. For our example, mark $$2,\; 3,\; 4,\; 5$$.

4. For each occurrence of a measurement, place a mark (often an “X”) above the corresponding number on the line. In our example:
   - For $$2$$ ft, there are 2 marks.
   - For $$3$$ ft, there are 3 marks.
   - For $$4$$ ft, there are 2 marks.
   - For $$5$$ ft, there is 1 mark.

5. The completed line plot will look like this:

```
     X   X         (for 2)
     X   X   X     (for 3)
         X   X     (for 4)
             X     (for 5)
---------------------------------
  2     3     4     5  
```

Each “X” represents one piece of scrap wood measured at that length.

6. Check your work to ensure every measurement is represented by the correct number of marks and that the number line is properly labeled.

This is the line plot for the given data. Replace the example data with your actual measurements if they differ.
To create a line plot of Jacob and his father's scrap wood measurements: 1. **List the Data**: Write down all the lengths of the scrap wood. 2. **Determine the Range**: Find the smallest and largest lengths. 3. **Draw the Number Line**: Mark the range on a horizontal line with appropriate increments. 4. **Plot the Data**: For each measurement, place a mark above the corresponding number on the line. 5. **Example**: ``` X X (for 2) X X X (for 3) X X (for 4) X (for 5) --------------------------------- 2 3 4 5 ``` Each “X” represents one piece of scrap wood. Replace the example with your actual measurements.
