Answer :
The possible situations represented by the scatter plot are:
A) The scatter plot could represent the negative association between the number of hours spent studying and the number of questi
rectly on an exam.
B) The scatter plot could represent the negative association between the number of laps run and time, in minutes.
C) The scatter plot could represent the negative association between the number of games played and the number of points score
How to determine the association of the scatterplot
From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:
The image of the scatter plot
On the scatter plot, we can see that
The points appear to be on a straight line
Also, we can see that
As the x values increases the y values decreases
This represents a negative linear association.
This means that
All descriptions that have negative association can be interpreted using the given scatter plot
Looking through the options, we have that:
(a) The scatter plot in (a) has a negative association between time and questions
(b) The scatter plot in (b) has a negative association between laps and time
(c) The scatter plot in (c) has a negative association between games played and points scored
Scatter plots (d), (e) and (f) have positive associations
Hence, the possible situations represented by the scatter plot are (a), (b), (c)
Question
Which of the following situations might the scatter plot represent? Select all that also have the correct interpretation.
