The data set would have a linear association. The data set would have a nonlinear association. The data set would have a positive correlation. The data set would have a negative correlation. Every student earns 16 more points for each additional hour they study. Students that study more tend to earn better grades on the test.
The data set would have a linear association. The data set would have a positive correlation. Students that study more tend to earn better grades on the test.
Which statement is correct when a scatterplot is constructed? The independent variable is the input variable and should be represented by the x-axis. The independent variable is the input variable and should be represented by the y-axis. The dependent variable is the input variable and should be represented by the x-axis. The dependent variable is the input variable and should be represented by the y-axis.
The independent variable is the input variable and should be represented by the x-axis.
The scatterplot below shows a set of data points.Which statement about the scatterplot is true? The scatterplot does not have a cluster, and the variables are not related. The scatterplot does not have a cluster, and the variables are related. As x increases, y increases. The scatterplot has a cluster, and the variables are not related. The scatterplot has a cluster, and the variables are related. As x increases, y increases.

An online store sold a gift basket at five different prices and recorded the number of gift baskets that were sold at each price. The results are shown in the scatterplot.Which statement is correct based on the scatterplot? There is no relationship between price and gift baskets sold because the points do not form a straight line. There is no relationship between price and gift baskets sold because there are multiple prices at which 80 gift baskets were sold. There is a relationship between price and gift baskets sold, and the relationship is that as the price increases, the gift baskets sold increases. There is a relationship between price and gift baskets sold, and the relationship is that as the price increases, the gift baskets sold decreases.
There is a relationship between price and gift baskets sold, and the relationship is that as the price increases, the gift baskets sold decreases.

Which describes a correct way to construct a scatterplot? When analyzing the number of home runs that a baseball player hit over several seasons, the season is the independent variable. When analyzing the number of umbrellas that are sold during days with varying amounts of rain, the number of umbrellas that are sold is the independent variable. When analyzing the number of registered voters by age, age is the dependent variable. When analyzing the number of students that ride the school bus each day of the week, the day is the dependent variable.
When analyzing the number of home runs that a baseball player hit over several seasons, the season is the independent variable.
