Question

1. question 3: how can you change the color of a data point on an xy scatter plot in excel?

a) right - click on the data point and select \format data point\
b) click on the data point and press \ctrl\ + \c\ to copy, then \ctrl\ + \v\ to paste with new formatting
c) select the data point and choose \change color\ from the \home\ tab in the ribbon
d) data point colors cannot be changed on an xy scatter plot

Explanation:

In Excel, to change the color of a data point on an XY scatter plot, the standard method is to right - click on the data point. This action brings up a context menu where you can select "Format Data Point". Option b is incorrect as "Ctrl + C" and "Ctrl + V" are for copy - paste, not for changing data point color formatting. Option c is wrong because there is no "Change Color" option for a single data point directly from the "Home" tab in the ribbon in the context of formatting a single data point on an XY scatter plot. Option d is false since data point colors can be changed.

Answer:

A. Right - click on the data point and select "Format Data Point"
