Problem-Solving and Data Analysis / Two-variable data: Models and scatterplots Difficulty: Easy

An orchard owner recorded the weight, in pounds, of all nectarines that grew on a dwarf nectarine tree during each growing season after the tree's transplantation. The scatterplot shows this weight, in pounds, for each growing season after the tree's transplantation.

What was the weight, to the nearest pound, of all nectarines that grew on the tree during the $4th$ growing season after the tree's transplantation?

Explanation

The correct answer is $40$ . For each data point on the scatterplot, the x-value represents the growing season after transplantation and the y-value represents the weight, in pounds, of all nectarines that grew on the tree during the season. The scatterplot shows a data point at $left parenthesis 4 comma 40 right parenthesis$ . It follows that during the $4th$ growing season after the tree’s transplantation, $40$ pounds of nectarines grew on the tree.
