Number of Laps versus the Day
Day 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Number of Laps 18 12 10 15 13 20 9
A student was swimming laps for exercise. The table shows how many laps he swam each day. Which scatterplot shows the correct representation of the data?
Since we are comparing the number of laps versus the day, the independent variable is the day and the dependent variable is the number of laps.
To represent this relationship in a scatterplot, we plot the day on the x-axis and the number of laps on the y-axis.
Considering the given data, the correct scatterplot would show the points (1, 18), (2, 12), (3, 10), (4, 15), (5, 13), (6, 20), and (7, 9).
Out of the options provided, we need to find the scatterplot with these points correctly represented. Without the scatterplot options, it is not possible to determine the correct representation.
