Question

the bulldogs and condors played ten games this season. which scatter plot represents the data?

game	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10
condors	3	2	4	5	4	5	9	7	4	3

runs scored by bulldogs and condors

four scatter plots (images) with “bulldogs” on the x - axis (0–10) and “condors” on the y - axis (0–10), each with a grid for plotting points

Explanation:

Step1: List the data points

For each game, the (Bulldogs, Condors) points are: (5,3), (6,2), (3,4), (2,5), (7,4), (6,5), (3,9), (6,7), (5,4), (6,3).

Step2: Analyze each point

• Game 1: (5,3) – Bulldogs=5, Condors=3
• Game 2: (6,2) – Bulldogs=6, Condors=2
• Game 3: (3,4) – Bulldogs=3, Condors=4
• Game 4: (2,5) – Bulldogs=2, Condors=5
• Game 5: (7,4) – Bulldogs=7, Condors=4
• Game 6: (6,5) – Bulldogs=6, Condors=5
• Game 7: (3,9) – Bulldogs=3, Condors=9 (this is a key point with Condors=9 when Bulldogs=3)
• Game 8: (6,7) – Bulldogs=6, Condors=7
• Game 9: (5,4) – Bulldogs=5, Condors=4
• Game 10: (6,3) – Bulldogs=6, Condors=3

Step3: Match with scatter plots

Looking at the scatter plots, the third plot (from left) has a point at (3,9) (Bulldogs=3, Condors=9) which matches Game 7. Also, other points like (2,5), (6,2), (6,7), etc., align with this plot. The first plot doesn't have the (3,9) point. The second plot has lower Condors values for Bulldogs=3. The fourth plot's point distribution doesn't match. So the third scatter plot (the one with a point at (3,9)) represents the data.

Answer:

The third scatter plot (from the left) represents the data. (Assuming the third plot is the one with the point at Bulldogs=3, Condors=9 and other points matching the data pairs.)
