Based on the data from the Denver International Airport for September 2020 to August 2021, let's summarize the snowfall totals by month:
Month 1: 3.1 in
Month 2: 13.5 in
Month 3: 34 in
Month 4: 12.6 in
Month 5: 0 in
Month 6: 0 in
Month 7: 0 in
Month 8: 0 in
Month 9: 1.0 in
Month 10: 4.0 in
Month 11: 5.0 in
Month 12: 7.0 in
To visualize this, we can plot the month on the x-axis (1 to 12) and the corresponding snowfall totals on the y-axis.
Now, we can examine the approximate data points provided in the scatterplots:
Conclusion: The scatterplot that best represents the data is Scatterplot 2, as its points closely align with the actual snowfall totals for each month as listed in your table.
