Question

the scatter plot shows the day of a month and the amount of rain in a city. which of the statements are true?
select all that apply.
a. there were three days of the month when it rained exactly 27 millimeters.
b. there is a cluster of days when it rained between days 6 and 15.
c. the greatest difference in the recorded amounts of rain in the city during the month was 3 millimeters.
d. there is an outlier at day 26.
e. there is a gap of no rain falling between days 10 and 26.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze Option A

There are no three - day points with exactly 27mm. So A is wrong.

Step2: Analyze Option B

There is no cluster between Days 6 and 15. So B is wrong.

Step3: Analyze Option C

The greatest difference in recorded amounts is not obvious from the scatter - plot. So C is wrong.

Step4: Analyze Option D

There is an outlier at Day 26 (compared to other data points). So D is correct.

Step5: Analyze Option E

There is a gap of no rainfall between Days 10 and 26 (no data points in between). So E is correct.

Answer:

D. There is an outlier at Day 26; E. There is a gap of no rain falling between Days 10 and 26.
