Question

describing a graph
what statements describe this graph? check all that apply.
the points are scattered.
the points are not connected.
the graph displays a discrete graph.
the graph displays the relationship of test scores to hours studied.
the graph represents the relationship between two sets of data.

Explanation:

• The points are scattered: Visually, the points are not in a straight - line or a regular pattern, so they are scattered.
• The points are not connected: There are no lines between the points, which is a characteristic of non - connected points.
• The graph displays a discrete graph: Discrete graphs have distinct, separate points (as opposed to a continuous line), which is the case here.
• The graph represents the relationship between two sets of data: The \(x\) - axis (hours studied) and \(y\) - axis (test scores) are two different sets of data, and the graph shows their relationship.
• The graph displays the relationship of test scores to hours studied: This is incorrect because there is no indication from the graph itself (no axis labels with units or a title) that \(x\) is hours studied and \(y\) is test scores. It could be any two - variable relationship.

Answer:

The points are scattered, The points are not connected, The graph displays a discrete graph, The graph represents the relationship between two sets of data.
