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.

Answer 1

To determine which scatterplot accurately represents the data from the table, we will list the correct data points based on the given information:

### Laps Swam Each Day
- 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

### Correct Data Points
Now we translate these into coordinate points:
- (1, 18)
- (2, 12)
- (3, 10)
- (4, 15)
- (5, 13)
- (6, 20)
- (7, 9)

### Evaluating the Options
Now we look through the provided options for their data points.

1. **Option 1:**
- (1, 18)
- (2, 21) **(Incorrect)**
- (3, 14) **(Incorrect)**
- (4, 15)
- (5, 11) **(Incorrect)**
- (6, 15) **(Incorrect)**
- (7, 9)

2. **Option 2:**
- (1, 18)
- (2, 12)
- (3, 8) **(Incorrect)**
- (4, 15)
- (5, 13)
- (6, 15) **(Incorrect)**
- (7, 9)

3. **Option 3:**
- (1, 18)
- (2, 12)
- (3, 10)
- (4, 15)
- (5, 13)
- (6, 20)
- (7, 9)
**(Correct)**

4. **Option 4:**
- (1, 18)
- (2, 12)
- (3, 8) **(Incorrect)**
- (4, 15)
- (5, 13)
- (6, 14) **(Incorrect)**
- (7, 9)

### Conclusion
**Option 3** is the correct scatterplot because it accurately represents all the data points based on the table provided.
