Question

1 the scatter plot shows the number of times a player came to bat and the number of hits they had. the scatter plot includes a point at (318, 80). describe the meaning of this point in this situation.

Explanation:

In a scatter - plot, the \(x\) - coordinate represents the independent variable and the \(y\) - coordinate represents the dependent variable. Here, the \(x\) - axis is labeled "at bats" (the number of times a player came to bat) and the \(y\) - axis is labeled "hits" (the number of hits a player had). For a point \((x,y)\) in the scatter - plot, \(x\) gives the value of the independent variable and \(y\) gives the value of the dependent variable.

Answer:

The point \((318,80)\) means that a player came to bat \(318\) times and had \(80\) hits.
