Mia recorded the weight of each bag of apples people picked at an apple orchard.

Make a dot plot of the data.

Step 1
List the data in order from least to greatest.
Step 2
Draw a number line that includes all the numbers on your list.
Step 3
Mark a dot above each number as many times at it occurs on your list. The number 1 occurs 2 times, so mark 2 dots above 1.

Explanation:
Here, the data order from least to greatest is 0, $$\frac{1}{2}$$, 1, 1$$\frac{3}{8}$$, 2, 2$$\frac{1}{2}$$, 3.
