To determine which scatterplot accurately represents the provided data on the number of cups of lemonade sold against temperature, we should focus on the coordinates given in the table:
Temperature (°F) | Number of Cups of Lemonade
------------------------|-------------------------------
78 | 15
95 | 35
79 | 22
72 | 15
65 | 10
82 | 26
68 | 10
75 | 18
89 | 34
Now, we can analyze the options given:
Check the axes:
The x-axis should represent temperature (°F) ranging from 0 to 100.
The y-axis should represent the number of cups ranging at least from 0 to 45.
Validate the plotted points:
For each temperature value, check if its corresponding number of cups aligns with the provided data points.
Now, let's match some critical data points from the table with their representations in scatterplots.
For instance:
At 65°F, the sale should be 10 cups.
At 68°F, it should be 10 cups.
At 72°F, it should be 15 cups.
At 75°F, it should be 18 cups.
At 78°F, it should be 15 cups.
At 79°F, it should be 22 cups.
At 82°F, it should be 26 cups.
At 89°F, it should be 34 cups.
At 95°F, it should be 35 cups.
After reviewing the scatterplots provided in the options, find the graph that accurately includes all of the specified points based on the table data.
From your description, it seems the second option might closely match the expected points with the following details:
At 65°F → 10,
At 68°F → 10,
At 72°F → 15,
At 75°F → 18,
At 78°F → 15,
At 79°F → 22,
At 82°F → 26,
At 89°F → 34,
At 95°F → 35 is representative.
Thus, the second scatterplot described would be the most accurate representation of the data provided.
