Question

a movie theater is keeping data on the number of tickets sold and the price of a single ticket. which scatterplot is correctly labeled?

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the variables

The two variables are the number of tickets sold and the price of a single ticket.

Step2: Determine the axes labels

In a scatter - plot, the independent variable is usually on the \(x\) - axis and the dependent variable is on the \(y\) - axis. Here, the price of a single ticket (\(y\)) depends on the number of tickets sold (\(x\)) in a sense (as per the problem context of keeping data on them). But if we consider the general convention for scatter - plots of two related variables, we just need to check the labels.
The first scatter - plot has \(x\) - axis labeled "Tickets Sold" and \(y\) - axis labeled "Ticket Price" which are the two variables of interest.
The second scatter - plot has \(x\) - axis labeled "Cinema" (not relevant to the two variables) and \(y\) - axis labeled "Sales" (not one of the two variables given).
The third scatter - plot has the axes reversed in terms of the variable names ( \(x\) - axis "Ticket Price" and \(y\) - axis "Tickets Sold" which is not the correct labeling as per the problem statement which says "number of tickets sold and the price of a single ticket" with no indication of a non - standard axis assignment).

Answer:

The first scatter - plot.
