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 10 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 4 comma 15 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 5 comma 13 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 6 comma 20 right parenthesis, and left parenthesis 7 comma 9 right parenthesis.

Answer 1

To find the correct scatterplot representation of the data provided in the table, we can compare the data points from the table with those mentioned in the descriptions of the scatterplots.

The data points based on the table are:

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

Now, let's look for the scatterplot that contains these exact data points:

1. First Scatterplot contains the points:

   • (1, 18), (2, 12), (3, 10), (4, 15), (5, 13), (6, 20), (7, 9) ✅

2. Second Scatterplot contains the points:

   • (1, 18), (2, 12), (3, 8), (4, 15), (5, 13), (6, 14), (7, 9) ❌ (Incorrect point at day 3)

3. Third Scatterplot contains the points:

   • (1, 18), (2, 21), (3, 14), (4, 15), (5, 11), (6, 15), (7, 9) ❌ (Incorrect points for days 2, 3, and 5)

4. Fourth Scatterplot contains the points:

   • (1, 18), (2, 12), (3, 8), (4, 15), (5, 13), (6, 15), (7, 9) ❌ (Incorrect point at day 3 and 6)

Thus, the first scatterplot correctly represents the data points from the table:

• (1, 18)
• (2, 12)
• (3, 10)
• (4, 15)
• (5, 13)
• (6, 20)
• (7, 9)

So the answer is the first scatterplot.
