Use the image to answer the question.

An illustration shows a scatterplot with 25 points in quadrant 1. The x-axis is labeled daily high temperature and ranges from 60 to 95 degrees. The y-axis is labeled daily sales and ranges from 25 to 95 dollars. The x-axis shows temperature values in 5 degree increments. The y-axis shows sales in 10 dollar increments. The approximate coordinates of the points are as follows: left parenthesis 58 comma 23 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 60 comma 34 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 64 comma 19 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 66 comma 58 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 69 comma 43 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 69 comma 53 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 72 comma 48 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 74 comma 49 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 75 comma 49 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 77 comma 54 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 78 comma 57 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 78 comma 65 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 80 comma 54 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 81 comma 68 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 82 comma 63 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 84 comma 74 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 84.5 comma 67 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 85 comma 80 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 87 comma 74 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 88.5 comma 73.5 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 87.5 comma 95 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 91 comma 76 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 92.5 comma 69 right parenthesis, and left parenthesis 94 comma 86 right parenthesis, and left parenthesis 94.5 comma 80 right parenthesis.

Using the trend line, what whole number could you infer the daily sales amount is when the temperature is 68°? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

To determine the daily sales amount when the temperature is 68 degrees using the provided scatterplot data, we can find the trend in the provided points around this temperature value.

From the coordinates you've provided:

  • At 66 degrees, the sales are approximately $58.
  • At 69 degrees, the sales are approximately $43.

Since 68 degrees falls between these two points, we can estimate the sales at this temperature by averaging the values from surrounding points or observing the trend of increasing/decreasing sales.

Looking at the trend:

  • The sales seem to decrease from 66 degrees (approximately $58) to 69 degrees (approximately $43).
  • Therefore, we can interpolate and estimate that at 68 degrees, the sales amount would be roughly between these two values.

Considering the descent between these points, we can infer:

68 degrees would likely fall closer to the sales of 66 degrees, but still slightly lower than that value.

A good estimate for sales at 68 degrees might be slightly less than $58, potentially around $50-$55.

To round to the nearest whole number, I would conclude that the daily sales amount when the temperature is 68 degrees is $50.
