A coordinate plane shows the cumulative covid 19 cases in the United Kingdom from February 23 to April 17, year 2020.
The graph shows the total number of COVID-19 cases in the UK from February 23 to April 17 in 2020. The dots or stars represent the actual data points, and the line is an exponential fit for the data points. Each value in the x-axis shows days since COVID cases started to be measured in the UK, with “day 1” representing February 23. The y-axis shows the total number of cases per day. Which of the following correctly uses the graph to determine the best estimate for the number of COVID-19 cases in the UK on day 20?

To determine the best estimate for the number of COVID-19 cases in the UK on day 20, we need to find the y-coordinate value (total number of cases per day) when x-coordinate (days since COVID cases started to be measured) is 20.
Looking at the graph, we can estimate that the y-coordinate value (total number of cases per day) on day 20 is approximately 10,000 cases.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
10,000 cases
