Use the table to answer the question.
Number of Laps versus the Day
Day 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Number of Laps 18 12 10 15 13 20 9
A student was swimming laps for exercise. The table shows how many laps he swam each day. Which scatterplot shows the correct representation of the data?
(1 point)

Since the data involves discrete values for both the day and the number of laps, a scatter plot with individual points for each day and number of laps would be appropriate. The correct representation of the data would be a scatterplot with points for each day (1-7) along the x-axis and the corresponding number of laps (18, 12, 10, 15, 13, 20, 9) along the y-axis. Each point should represent the specific number of laps swam on a particular day.
