James drew a scatter plot comparing the number of people who bought tickets to middle school football games and the amount of money raised by the events. He graphed the ordered pairs (number of tickets, money raised) for each date of the football games. Which of the three scatter plots below most likely represent the data?

A. A graph shows six points. The points begin at the lower left and continue up and to the right in a nearly linear pattern.
B. A graph shows six points.The points are arranged on a graph with five horizontal lines. One point is on the left side of the graph between the top two lines. The next point is on the left side of the graph on the second line from the top. The third point is on the right side of the graph between the first and second lines from the top. The fourth point is close to the middle of the third line. Directly under it, is apoint between the third and fourth line. The last point is on the left side of the graph between the fourth and fifth lines.
C. A graph shows six points. The points begin at the upper left and continue in a general trend down and to the right.
D. None of these

A. A graph shows six points. The points begin at the lower left and continue up and to the right in a nearly linear pattern. This is the most likely scatter plot to represent the data, as it shows a positive correlation between the number of tickets sold and the amount of money raised.
