A daycare kept track of the number of clients for a 9-year span. The table shows the years versus number of daycare kids. What would the scatterplot that represents the data look like

Answer 1

Without the numbers it is difficult to say exactly what the scatterplot would look like, but generally speaking it would have a series of points that are distributed along the x-axis (representing the years) and the y-axis (representing the number of daycare kids). The scatterplot might show a consistent increase or decrease in the number of kids over time, or it might show a more erratic pattern with fluctuations depending on the year. It would be important to label the axes clearly and include a title that indicates what the scatterplot is representing.
