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 12 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 3 comma 8 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 4 comma 15 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 5 comma 13 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 6 comma 14 right parenthesis, and left parenthesis 7 comma 9 right parenthesis.

To find the correct scatterplot representation of the data, we need to match the data points from the provided table:

  • Day 1: 18 laps
  • Day 2: 12 laps
  • Day 3: 10 laps
  • Day 4: 15 laps
  • Day 5: 13 laps
  • Day 6: 20 laps
  • Day 7: 9 laps

We can compare these values to the data points listed in each response:

  1. First Response:

    • (1, 18), (2, 12), (3, 8), (4, 15), (5, 13), (6, 14), (7, 9)
    • Mistake: Day 3 is incorrect (should be 10, not 8), Day 6 is incorrect (should be 20, not 14).
  2. Second Response:

    • (1, 18), (2, 12), (3, 10), (4, 15), (5, 13), (6, 20), (7, 9)
    • Correct data points.
  3. Third Response:

    • (1, 18), (2, 21), (3, 14), (4, 15), (5, 11), (6, 15), (7, 9)
    • Mistake: Multiple inaccuracies.
  4. Fourth Response:

    • (1, 18), (2, 21), (3, 14), (4, 15), (5, 11), (6, 15), (7, 9)
    • Mistake: Same inaccuracies as the third response.

The correct scatterplot representation of the data is in the second response, which accurately reflects all the data points from the table.
