21the table corresponds to which of the following scatterplots?height in inchesweight in pounds61120631506716068155711807220072190732107422077240

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the relationship between height and weight

As height increases, weight generally increases. This indicates a positive correlation.

Step2: Check each scatter - plot

• The first scatter - plot shows a positive correlation (as \(x\) (height) increases, \(y\) (weight) generally increases).
• The second scatter - plot shows no clear linear trend (up - down - up pattern).
• The third scatter - plot shows a negative correlation (as \(x\) increases, \(y\) decreases).
• The fourth scatter - plot shows no clear linear trend (down - up - down pattern).

Answer:

The first scatter - plot (the one with a general upward trend as height increases)
