Solution
To determine the correct graph, we first need to plot the given data points on a scatter plot.
Given data points:
\hline x & y \\ \hline 2 & 3 \\ 3 & 5 \\ 4 & 6 \\ 5 & 9 \\ 6 & 11 \\ 7 & 13 \\ 8 & 15 \\ \hline \end{array}$$ Now, let's check the provided options: - **Option A**: Points plotted are (2,3), (3,6), (4,5), (5,9), (6,13), (7,11), and (8,15). - **Option B**: Points plotted are (2,15), (3,13), (4,11), (5,9), (6,6), (7,5), and (8,3). - **Option C**: Points plotted are (2,3), (3,5), (4,6), (5,9), (6,11), (7,13), and (8,15). Based on the given data points, the correct option should match the points $$(2,3)$$, $$(3,5)$$, $$(4,6)$$, $$(5,9)$$, $$(6,11)$$, $$(7,13)$$, and $$(8,15)$$. Clearly, **Option C** matches the given data points exactly. So, the correct graph is **Option C**. Would you like details or have any questions? Here are 5 questions you might want to ask: 1. How do you interpret a scatter plot? 2. What is the next step after plotting a scatter plot? 3. How do you determine if there is a correlation between x and y values? 4. Can you explain how to fit a line to the scatter plot? 5. What are some applications of scatter plots in real-world data analysis? **Tip**: When plotting points on a scatter plot, ensure that each point's coordinates are correctly matched to avoid any errors in interpreting the data.Ask a new question for Free
