Question

use the data table below to create the given scatter plot, then fill in the guided sentence below.
click on the graph to plot a point. click a point to delete it.
answer attempt 1 out of 2
the scatter plot shows correlation because as the plotted values of x increase, the values of y generally.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the data points

We have the data points \((0,1)\), \((5,4)\), \((9,10)\), \((2,2)\), \((6,5)\), \((7,7)\), \((1,3)\), \((8,7)\). As \(x\) values increase (e.g., from \(0\) to \(1\) to \(2\) etc.), \(y\) values also tend to increase (e.g., \(1\) to \(3\) to \(2\) but overall trend is upward).

Step2: Determine the type of correlation

In a positive correlation, as \(x\) increases, \(y\) generally increases.

Answer:

The scatter plot shows a positive correlation because as the plotted values of \(x\) increase, the values of \(y\) generally increase.
