Question an-orc
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 transanimalation. The sterplot shows this weight, in pounds, for each growing season after the tree's transanimalation.
- The sterplot has 8 data points.
- The data points are in a linear pattern trending up from left to right.
- The data points have the following coordinates:
- (1 comma 0)
- (2 comma 10)
- (3 comma 21)
- (4 comma 40)
- (5 comma 46)
- (6 comma 60)
- (7 comma 76)
- (8 comma 85)

Answer explanation
The correct answer is . For each data point on the sterplot, the x-value represents the growing season after transanimalation and the y-value represents the weight, in pounds, of all nectarines that grew on the tree during the season. The sterplot shows a data point at . It follows that during the growing season after the tree’s transanimalation, pounds of nectarines grew on the tree.
