Question

how many variables are displayed in a scatterplot?

one along the \\(x\\)-axis, and one along the \\(y\\)-axis
one along the \\(x\\)-axis, and two along the \\(y\\)-axis
two along the \\(x\\)-axis, and one along the \\(y\\)-axis
two along the \\(x\\)-axis, and two along the \\(y\\)-axis

Explanation:

Define scatterplot variables

Using the Scatterplot Analysis knowledge point
A standard scatterplot is used to display and analyze the relationship between two quantitative variables.

Identify axis assignments

Using the Scatterplot Analysis knowledge point
One variable is plotted along the horizontal \(x\)-axis (independent/explanatory variable), and the other variable is plotted along the vertical \(y\)-axis (dependent/response variable).

Answer:

• one along the x-axis, and one along the y-axis (Correct answer)
• one along the x-axis, and two along the y-axis
• two along the x-axis, and one along the y-axis
• two along the x-axis, and two along the y-axis
