To determine which baby belongs to Mr. and Mrs. Simon based on blood types, we need to know the blood types of the parents and the babies. However, the question does not provide this information directly. Typically, blood type inheritance follows these general rules:

  1. If both parents have type O blood, the child will have type O blood.
  2. If one parent has type A and the other has type O, the child can have type A or O.
  3. If one parent has type B and the other has type O, the child can have type B or O.
  4. If both parents have type A, the child can have type A or O.
  5. If both parents have type B, the child can have type B or O.
  6. If one parent has type A and the other has type B, the child can have type A, B, AB, or O.
  7. If one parent has type AB and the other has type A, the child can have type A, B, or AB.
  8. If one parent has type AB and the other has type B, the child can have type A, B, or AB.
  9. If both parents have type AB, the child can have type A, B, or AB.

Without the specific blood types of Mr. and Mrs. Simon and the babies, we cannot determine which baby belongs to them. Therefore, the answer is:

Cannot be determined

Explanation for each option:

  • Holly: Without specific blood type information, we cannot confirm if Holly belongs to Mr. and Mrs. Simon.
  • Jennifer: Without specific blood type information, we cannot confirm if Jennifer belongs to Mr. and Mrs. Simon.
  • Cannot be determined: This is the correct answer because we lack the necessary blood type information to make a determination.
  • Rebecca: Without specific blood type information, we cannot confirm if Rebecca belongs to Mr. and Mrs. Simon.

In summary, without the blood type information of the parents and the babies, it is impossible to determine which baby belongs to Mr. and Mrs. Simon.

The linear correlation coefficient "r" tells us how strong the linear relationship is; in general, the closer it is to 1, the stronger the linear relationship, while the closer it is to 0, the weaker the linear relationship. Match each scatterplot with its most reasonable r-value.
