To determine which scatterplot correctly represents the data provided in the table, we can analyze the specific coordinates from the data.

Here are the data points provided:

  1. (78, 15)
  2. (95, 35)
  3. (79, 22)
  4. (72, 15)
  5. (65, 10)
  6. (82, 26)
  7. (68, 10)
  8. (75, 18)
  9. (89, 34)

Next, let's check each scatterplot option against the data points:

  1. First option points:

    • (65, 10) - Correct
    • (68, 10) - Correct
    • (72, 15) - Correct
    • (75, 18) - Correct
    • (78, 15) - Correct
    • (79, 22) - Correct
    • (82, 26) - Correct
    • (89, 34) - Correct
    • (95, 35) - Correct

    This option has all the correct points.

  2. Second option points:

    • (65, 8) - Incorrect (should be 10)
    • The rest of the points also diverge from the data provided (some values are incorrect).
  3. Third option points:

    • (65, 8) - Incorrect (should be 10)
    • The values again diverge from the provided data.
  4. Fourth option points:

    • (65, 8) - Incorrect (should be 10)
    • (75, 35) - Incorrect (should be (95, 35))
    • The other points also diverge from the data.

Considering this analysis, the first option correctly represents all the data points and is the correct scatterplot representation of the relationship between the number of cups of lemonade sold and the temperature of the day.
