Question

our students graphed the data below (orange = carrot, green = bell pepper). which graph is correct? vegetable mass and calorie data vegetable mass (g) calories bell pepper 140 30 carrot 80 40 a. a b. b c. c d. d

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the data points

The bell pepper has a mass of \(140\) g and \(30\) calories. The carrot has a mass of \(80\) g and \(40\) calories.

Step2: Check each graph

• Graph A: The axes are not labeled correctly for the given mass and calorie ranges.
• Graph B: The axes are not labeled correctly for the given mass and calorie ranges.
• Graph C: The data points are reversed (bell pepper and carrot data points are swapped in terms of mass - calorie relation).
• Graph D: The \(x\) - axis (mass) and \(y\) - axis (calories) are scaled appropriately. The point \((140,30)\) (bell pepper) and \((80,40)\) (carrot) are plotted correctly.

Answer:

D. D
