A coordinate plane is titled: Number of Cups of Lemonade Sold versus Temperature. It shows temperature in degrees Fahrenheit on the x-axis from 0 to 100 in increments of 5 and number of cups on the y-axis from 0 to 35 in increments of 5.
The approximate data points are as follows: left parenthesis 65 comma 10 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 68 comma 10 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 72 comma 15 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 75 comma 18 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 78 comma 15 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 79 comma 22 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 82 comma 26 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 89 comma 34 right parenthesis, and left parenthesis 95 comma 35 right parenthesis.

To determine which scatterplot accurately represents the data provided in the table, we need to check the coordinate pair of each temperature and the corresponding number of cups of lemonade sold.

Here are the data points from the table:

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

Now, let's analyze the responses:

  1. First Response:

    • Points: (65, 10), (68, 10), (72, 15), (75, 18), (78, 15), (79, 22), (82, 26), (89, 34), (95, 35)
    • All points are consistent with the data provided. This is the correct scatterplot.
  2. Second Response:

    • Points: (65, 8), (68, 10), (72, 18), (75, 18), (78, 15), (79, 22), (81, 26), (89, 45)
    • Incorrect values at (65, 8) and (89, 45), plus (81, 26) does not match the temperature listed. This scatterplot is not correct.
  3. Third Response:

    • Points: (65, 8), (68, 10), (72, 18), (75, 18), (78, 15), (79, 22), (81, 26), (89, 32), (95, 35)
    • Incorrect values at (65, 8) and (89, 32). This is not correct.
  4. Fourth Response:

    • Points: (65, 8), (68, 10), (72, 18), (75, 18), (78, 15), (79, 22), (81, 30), (89, 45), (95, 35)
    • Incorrect values at (65, 8), (81, 30), and (89, 45). This is not correct.

Only the first response contains the correct data points as per the table provided. Therefore, the correct scatterplot is the first response.
