Two conjectures that might result are, "A small [half-ounce] box of raisins cannot contain 100 raisins" and "A small box of raisins will contain between 14 and 35 raisins." These could be formulated as the following question to be investigated: "What is the smallest and largest number of raisins that a box can hold?" The students could investigate this question by obtaining additional half-ounce boxes of raisins of the same brand, then counting the number of raisins in each box, and finally adding this information to their line plot. An extension would then be to count and analyze the number of raisins in half-ounce boxes of other brand names.
