Question

sylvia wants to construct a display to represent her sons height each year as he was growing up. which type of display would be most appropriate and why? a. a scatter plot would be most appropriate because the data is an association between two variables. b. a line graph would be most appropriate because the data is an association between two variables c. a line graph would be most appropriate because the data shows a trend over time. d. a scatter plot would be most appropriate because the data shows a trend over time.

Explanation:

A line graph is ideal for showing trends over time. Sylvia is tracking her son's height each year (over time), so a line graph would effectively display the growth trend. A scatter - plot is more for showing the relationship (association) between two variables without emphasizing a time - based trend.

Answer:

C. A line graph would be most appropriate because the data shows a trend over time.
