In the given question, there are numerous information's already provided. It is important to note then down first. With the help of those given information's the required answer can be easily reached.
Percentage of students that weighed 140 pounds = 75 percent
Then
Percentage of students that weighed more than 140 pounds = (100 - 75) percent
      = 25 percent
Total number of students that were weighed = 40 students
Total number of students that weighed more than 140 pounds = (25/100) * 40
      = (40/4) students
      = 10 students
So the number of students that weighed more than 140 pounds is 10. So the correct option in regards to the given question is option "1".

Scatter plots are used to relate variables using scattered dots.

The best prediction for the number of baskets made in 16 minutes is (c) 14 baskets

From the graph, we can see that the number of baskets made in 14 minutes is 12.

Also, from the graph; as the minutes increases, the number of baskets either remain the same or increases.

This means that, for 16 minutes, the number of baskets would either be 12 (same as 14 minutes) or greater.

The closest to 12 baskets in the option is 14.

Hence, the best prediction for the number of baskets made in 16 minutes is (c) 14 baskets
