During which of the following time periods did the greatest increase in recorded temperature take place?

","rationale_html":"

Choice C is correct. The scatterplot shows that there was an increase in recorded temperature from x=2 to x=3 and from x=6 to x=7. When x=2, the recorded temperature was approximately 60°F and when x=3, the recorded temperature was greater than 70°F. This means that the increase in recorded temperature from x=2 to x=3 was greater than (70-60)°F, or 10°F. When x=6, the recorded temperature was greater than 60°F and when x=7, the recorded temperature was less than 70°F. This means that the increase in recorded temperature from x=6 to x=7 was less than (70-60)°F, or 10°F. It follows that the greatest increase in recorded temperature took place from x=2 to x=3.

\n

Choice A is incorrect. The increase in recorded temperature from x=6 to x=7 was less than the increase in recorded temperature from x=2 to x=3.

\n

Choice B is incorrect. From x=5 to x=6, a decrease, not an increase, in recorded temperature took place.

\n

Choice D is incorrect. From x=1 to x=2, a decrease, not an increase, in recorded temperature took place.
