The point (150, 73.8) represents a data point on the scatter plot. In this case, it represents the observed relationship between the number of times the cricket chirps in one minute (x-value) and the temperature outside (y-value). The x-value of 150 corresponds to the number of chirps, while the y-value of 73.8 represents the temperature.
