Let me solve this step by step.
First, I need to find how many field goals were made from 25 yards. Looking at the scatterplot, when the distance is 25 yards (x = 25), the corresponding y-value (field goals made) is 9.
So, from 25 yards: 9 field goals were made.
Now, the question asks: which distance had
3 less than twice as many field goals as those made from 25 yards?
Twice the number from 25 yards is: 2 × 9 = 18
Three less than that is: 18 − 3 = 15
Wait — but looking at the y-axis, the maximum number of field goals made is 12. So 15 is impossible. That means I must have misread the point at 25 yards.
Let me zoom in on the point at x = 25 to confirm the y-value.
