A coordinate plane is titled: Number of Laps Swam. It shows day on the x-axis from 0 to 7 in increments of 1. It shows number of laps on the y-axis from 0 to 20 in increments of 1. The approximate data points are as follows: left parenthesis 1 comma 18 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 2 comma 21 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 3 comma 14 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 4 comma 15 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 5 comma 11 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 6 comma 15 right parenthesis, and left parenthesis 7 comma 9 right parenthesis.

A scatterplot shows the number of hours studied versus test grade. The horizontal axis shows the number of hours studied, ranging from 0 to 10 in increments of 1. The vertical axis shows the test grade, ranging from 0 to 100 in increments of 5, starting with a jump from 0 to 35. A kink is shown on the vertical axis close to origin. A dot is plotted at 0.5 on the horizontal axis and 45 on the vertical axis. A loosely packed cluster of data plots is plotted between 1 to 4.5 on the horizontal axis and 77 and 98 on the vertical axis.

A scatterplot shows height versus weight. The horizontal axis shows height, in inches, ranging from 0 to 70 in increments of 5, starting with a jump from 0 to 50. The vertical axis shows the weight, in pounds, ranging from 0 to 160 in increments of 5, starting with a jump from 0 to 90. A kink is shown on both horizontal and vertical axis close to origin. A dot is plotted at 61 in the horizontal axis and 95 on the vertical axis, and also 60 on the horizontal axis and 154 on the vertical axis. A loosely packed cluster of data plots is plotted between 60 to 64 on the horizontal axis and 115 and 135 on the vertical axis.

Answer 1

The correct scatterplot representation of the data for the number of laps swam each day is the one described as follows:

A coordinate plane is titled: Number of Laps Swam. It shows day on the x-axis from 0 to 7 in increments of 1. It shows number of laps on the y-axis from 0 to 20 in increments of 1. The approximate data points are as follows: (1, 18), (2, 12), (3, 10), (4, 15), (5, 13), (6, 20), and (7, 9).
