Math Problem Statement
Solution
To improve the scatter graph based on the list provided in the image, here are the relevant changes:
-
Add units to the axis labels: The axes currently lack units, which makes it unclear what the numbers represent (e.g., petrol in liters and distance in kilometers or miles).
-
Make the vertical axis go up to 400: The current vertical axis only goes up to 200, and expanding it would allow for a greater range of data to be represented if necessary.
The other suggestions from the list wouldn't be improvements in this case:
- Drawing lines between the points isn't necessary for a scatter plot.
- The horizontal axis already goes up to 80, so reducing it to 40 would remove valid data.
- Making the points different colors might not add value unless differentiating data categories.
Would you like any more details or have any specific questions?
Here are 5 questions that might expand your understanding:
- What unit might be appropriate for the petrol axis?
- Why might extending the vertical axis to 400 be important?
- How would coloring points help in a more complex data set?
- What other types of graphs could represent this data?
- Should we consider different axis scales to reflect more accuracy?
Tip: Always ensure both axes have clear units when presenting data to avoid misinterpretation.
