Answer 1

To construct the scatterplot based on the data provided in the table, we will plot the ages of the runners on the x-axis and their corresponding times on the y-axis.

The following data points will be plotted from the table:

• (24, 32.75)
• (29, 33.63)
• (34, 34.84)
• (39, 35.33)
• (44, 35.23)
• (49, 36.16)

Given the descriptions of possible scatterplots, the correct one should show:

1. Age in years on the x-axis
2. Time in minutes on the y-axis
3. The x-axis should reasonably accommodate the ages listed, likely from 20 to above 40
4. The y-axis should accommodate the times listed, going from around 30 to above 36

Considering these points, the first option most likely aligns best with the data provided as it specifies the axes and increments that allow for a clear plotting of the data points. If we want to narrow it down, the first scatterplot mentions "Time in minutes on the y-axis from 0 to 40" and "Age in years on the x-axis from 0 to 40" which seems appropriate given our data ranges.

Therefore, the correct choice for the scatterplot based on the provided table is:

A coordinate plane is titled: Average Time of a 5 K. It shows age in years on the x-axis from 0 to 40 in increments of 5 and time in minutes on the y-axis from 0 to 40 in increments of 1. The approximate data points are as follows: (24, 33), (29, 33.5), (34, 35), (39, 35.5), (44, 35.5), and (49, 36).
