The data shows information about couples and the number of different cars they have owned over their lifetime. The \(x\)-axis shows the number of cars owned by the female of the couple and the \(y\)-axis is the number of cars owned by the male of the couple. Which table shows the same information as the scatter plot?
Create a table from the scatter plot.
The points in the scatter plot are \((2, 5), (3, 4), (3, 6), (4, 6), (4, 8), (6, 7), (6, 9), (7, 9), (8, 8)\).
This can be represented in a table as:
\begin{tabular}{|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|}
\hline Cars Owned by Female & 2 & 3 & 3 & 4 & 4 & 6 & 6 & 7 & 8 \\
\hline Cars Owned by Male & 5 & 4 & 6 & 6 & 8 & 7 & 9 & 9 & 8 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
Compare the table with the given options.
Comparing the table derived from the scatter plot with the provided options, we find that option (a) is the same if we swap the last two entries of 'Cars Owned by Male'. Options (b), (c) and (d) do not match.
However, if we maintain the order of the points as we read them from the graph, the table derived from the scatter plot is the same as option (d).
\(\boxed{d}\)
