The line plot shows the measurement of a certain liquid (in milliliters) in nine beakers. If you combined the liquids and then put an equal amount of liquid in each beaker, how much liquid would be in each beaker?

The plot shown is a histogram, not a line plot.

The average quantity is
.. (2*1/4 +2*3/8 +2*1/2 +5/8 +3/4 +7/8)/(2 +2 +2 +1 + 1 + 1)
.. = (4 1/2)/9 = 1/2

Each beaker would have 1/2 milliliters.
