Question

the scatterplot illustrates the relationship between distance and success rate of field - goal attempts for a sample of football kickers. which of the following is an accurate description of the scatterplot? the kickers have unusually low success rates when the distance is large. the kickers have unusually high success rates when the distance is small. the kickers have higher success rates for longer field - goal attempts. the kickers have lower success rates for longer field - goal attempts.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the trend of the scatter - plot

As the distance (x - axis) increases, we observe the change in the success rate (y - axis).

Step2: Check each option

• Option 1: There is no indication of "unusually low" for large distances. The data just shows a general trend.
• Option 2: There is no indication of "unusually high" for small distances. The data just shows a general trend.
• Option 3: As distance increases, success rate does not increase.
• Option 4: As the distance (x - axis) increases from left to right (e.g., from 20 yards to 65 yards), the success rate (y - axis) values generally decrease.

Answer:

The kickers have lower success rates for longer field - goal attempts.
