To make a prediction of the word count for a 9-page essay based on the scatterplot data, we need to identify the trend represented in the scatterplot. While the exact scatterplot isn't provided here, I can guide you through the general process for making this type of prediction.
1. **Identify the Pattern/Trend:**
- If the scatterplot shows a linear trend, you can estimate the average word count per page by examining the relationship between the number of pages and the total word count for several points on the scatterplot.
2. **Calculate Average Word Count per Page:**
- Calculate a rough average word count per page by dividing the total word count by the number of pages for a few data points.
3. **Project for 9 Pages:**
- Once you have an average, multiply it by 9 to get an estimated word count for a 9-page essay.
Let's assume from these steps that you determined the following based on the available data:
- On average, a page contains approximately 200 to 250 words.
If you multiply this average by 9 pages:
- At 200 words per page: 9 pages * 200 words/page = 1800 words
- At 250 words per page: 9 pages * 250 words/page = 2250 words
Given this range (1800 to 2250 words), you can select the closest option available:
- **Option A:** 1600
- **Option B:** 1800
- **Option C:** 2100
- **Option D:** 2400
The best prediction among the given choices would be either **B: 1800** or **C: 2100**.
Without the exact scatterplot to see the data points, it is challenging to make a precise choice. But typically, if the data points closely align with our initial rough average calculation (200-250 words per page):
**C: 2100** is a reasonable and slightly more conservative estimate based on the upper end of our calculation. This allows a buffer for variability which is often observed in real-world data.
Therefore, **C: 2100** is the best prediction.

Without the specific scatterplot data, there's an element of estimation involved, but let's refine the approach based on our available information.
If typical estimations show an average word count per page between 200 to 250 words, multiplying for a 9-page essay gives you:
1. 200 words/page * 9 pages = 1800 words
2. 250 words/page * 9 pages = 2250 words
Given this, the options provided are:
- **A: 1600**
- **B: 1800**
- **C: 2100**
- **D: 2400**
The closest estimate based on the average range (200-250 words/page) would center around 1800 words if we lean towards the lower part of the range, which was part of our earlier calculation.
Given that 2100 is closer to the upper range but may stretch beyond the lower average calculation depending on the data trend, **B: 1800** seems more fitting based on the lower estimate.
To sum up:
**Best prediction: B: 1800**
This approach takes into account the lower average from a realistic scatterplot analysis while still recognizing any slight variations in writing density or word count per page.
