To find the correct scatterplot for the data presented in the table, we’ll identify the key points based on the temperature (°F) and the corresponding number of cups sold.

From the table:

  • At 65°F, 10 cups were sold.
  • At 68°F, 10 cups were sold.
  • At 72°F, 15 cups were sold.
  • At 75°F, 18 cups were sold.
  • At 78°F, 15 cups were sold.
  • At 79°F, 22 cups were sold.
  • At 82°F, 26 cups were sold.
  • At 89°F, 34 cups were sold.
  • At 95°F, 35 cups were sold.

Now, we will check the provided options for correct representation:

  1. Check that the x-axis represents temperature (°F) and the y-axis represents the number of cups sold.
  2. Verify that the coordinates (x, y) match the data points above.

Based on the information provided, the scatterplot that accurately represents the data must have the correct readings for each temperature, particularly focusing on:

  • At 65: 10 cups
  • At 68: 10 cups
  • At 72: 15 cups
  • At 75: 18 cups
  • At 78: 15 cups
  • At 79: 22 cups
  • At 82: 26 cups
  • At 89: 34 cups
  • At 95: 35 cups

Final Evaluation:

It sounds like the last option where "The approximate data points are as follows: (65, 10), (68, 10), (72, 15), (75, 18), (78, 15), (79, 22), (82, 26), (89, 34), and (95, 35)" correctly reflects the counts given for temperature in degrees Fahrenheit on the x-axis and number of cups sold on the y-axis.

Thus, the fourth option appears to be the correct scatterplot that represents the data accurately.
