Based on the provided data points in the table:
- Age and corresponding average times for 5K marathons are:
- Age 24: Time 32.75 minutes
- Age 29: Time 33.63 minutes
- Age 34: Time 34.84 minutes
- Age 39: Time 35.33 minutes
- Age 44: Time 35.23 minutes
- Age 49: Time 36.16 minutes
The correct scatterplot will show age (years) on the x-axis and time (minutes) on the y-axis.
Looking at the provided responses, the option that accurately represents the age vs. time data from the table would be the one that:
- Has age on the x-axis with proper increments that cover the ages listed (at least from 24 to 49).
- Has time on the y-axis and closely aligns with the average times listed (ranging near 32 to 36 minutes).
Based on these criteria, the best fit 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: left parenthesis 24 comma 33 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 29 comma 33.5 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 34 comma 35 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 39 comma 35.5 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 44 comma 35.5 right parenthesis, and left parenthesis 49 comma 36 right parenthesis.
This option appears to be misaligned since the time points do not exactly match those provided, but it's the most closely related choice based on your descriptions. Ensure to correct the y-values based on the actual average times when plotting the scatterplot.
