Question

liana owns a jewelry store known for decorative gemstones. she recorded the weight and price of each gemstone that she sold to customers today. her results are displayed in the scatter plot shown. use the drop - down menus below to complete the statements about the scatter plot. each point on the plot represents one. the plot shows that, in general, as the weight of the gemstone increases, the cost of the gemstone.

Explanation:

In a scatter - plot, each point represents a pair of values. Here, the two variables are the weight and cost of gemstones. So each point represents one gemstone (as it has a specific weight and cost).
Looking at the scatter - plot, as we move from left (lower weight values) to right (higher weight values) on the \(x\) - axis (weight of gemstones), the \(y\) - values (cost of gemstones) generally go up.

Answer:

Each point on the plot represents one gemstone.
The plot shows that, in general, as the weight of the gemstone increases, the cost of the gemstone increases.
