To determine which scatterplot represents the data accurately, we need to compare each option to the provided table of lemonade sales against temperature.

Given 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 |

Key Points to Consider:

  1. The temperature should be plotted on the x-axis (0 to 100 °F).
  2. The number of cups sold should be plotted on the y-axis (ideally up to at least 35 since that's the maximum in the table).
  3. Each data point should correctly reflect both the temperature and the corresponding number of cups sold.

Analyzing the Options:

  • Option A:

    • Data points match the table correctly.
    • X-axis is temperature (0 to 100 °F) and y-axis is number of cups sold (0 to 35).

  • Option B:

    • Has a point at (89, 45), which is incorrect as the number of cups sold at that temperature is 34.

  • Option C:

    • Has incorrect temperature on its axes (x-axis should be cups sold, which is not correct).

  • Option D:

    • Has incorrect points including (75, 35) but should be (95, 35).

Conclusion:

The scatterplot that accurately represents the data from the table is Option A.
