To create a scatterplot based on the provided data from the table, we must plot the age on the x-axis and the time on the y-axis. The data points from the table are as follows:
- (24, 32.75)
- (29, 33.63)
- (34, 34.84)
- (39, 35.33)
- (44, 35.23)
- (49, 36.16)
Given the options regarding the scatterplots, we need to identify the one that accurately represents these points.
- The correct x-axis should show age (0 to 50).
- The correct y-axis should show time (0 to 40 or slightly above 36 based on the data).
From the options provided:
The third option seems closest to the data, with the data points approximately as follows:
- (24, around 33)
- (29, around 33.5)
- (34, around 35)
- (39, around 35.5)
- (44, around 35.5)
- (49, around 36)
Therefore, the scatterplot that can correctly represent the data points is the one where the x-axis is age and the y-axis is time, and the points closely follow the values from the table.
If the data points listed in the last option approximate these values accurately, then that would be the correct scatterplot to choose.
Based on the options you've provided, the correct choice appears to be:
"A coordinate plane is titled: Average Time of a 5 K. It shows age in years on the x-axis from 0 to 40 in increments of 5 and time in minutes on the y-axis from 0 to 40 in increments of 1. The approximate data points are as follows: left parenthesis 24 comma 33 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 29 comma 33.5 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 34 comma 35 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 39 comma 35.5 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 44 comma 35.5 right parenthesis, and left parenthesis 49 comma 36 right parenthesis."
