Use the image to answer the question.

An illustration shows a scatterplot with 25 points in quadrant 1. The x-axis is labeled daily high temperature and ranges from 60 to 95 degrees. The y-axis is labeled daily sales and ranges from 25 to 95 dollars. The x-axis shows temperature values in 5 degree increments. The y-axis shows sales in 10 dollar increments. The approximate coordinates of the points are as follows: left parenthesis 58 comma 23 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 60 comma 34 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 64 comma 19 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 66 comma 58 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 69 comma 43 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 69 comma 53 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 72 comma 48 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 74 comma 49 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 75 comma 49 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 77 comma 54 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 78 comma 57 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 78 comma 65 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 80 comma 54 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 81 comma 68 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 82 comma 63 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 84 comma 74 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 84.5 comma 67 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 85 comma 80 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 87 comma 74 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 88.5 comma 73.5 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 87.5 comma 95 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 91 comma 76 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 92.5 comma 69 right parenthesis, and left parenthesis 94 comma 86 right parenthesis, and left parenthesis 94.5 comma 80 right parenthesis.

Using the trend line, what whole number could you infer the daily sales amount is when the temperature is 68°? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

To infer the approximate daily sales amount when the temperature is 68°, you would need to look at the trend line (which is not visible here) that is fitted to the scatterplot data points. Based on the coordinates you provided around the temperature of 68°, you can see that there are points with y-values (daily sales) around that temperature.

Given the coordinates provided:

  • At 66°, the sales are 58 dollars.
  • At 69°, the sales are around 43 or 53 dollars (two points).
  • There's also a point at 72° with sales of 48 dollars.

From this, we can make an educated guess. The sales amount for 68° is likely between the sales figures for 66° and 69°. A rough estimate would suggest that the sales amount might be around 50 dollars when interpolating between the points.

Therefore, rounding to the nearest whole number, the inferred daily sales amount when the temperature is 68° could be approximately:

$50.
