Math Problem Statement
Solution
To create a scatter plot for the given data, let me explain how the points are plotted and then summarize the scatter plot.
Data Table:
Age (in years) | Height (in meters) |
---|---|
3 | 5 |
5 | 4 |
7 | 8 |
8 | 12 |
11 | 11 |
12 | 10 |
14 | 13 |
Steps to Create a Scatter Plot:
-
Axes:
- Horizontal Axis (x-axis) = Age (in years)
- Vertical Axis (y-axis) = Height (in meters)
-
Plot the Points:
- (3, 5)
- (5, 4)
- (7, 8)
- (8, 12)
- (11, 11)
- (12, 10)
- (14, 13)
-
Appearance:
- Label axes: Age on x-axis, Height on y-axis.
- Each point represents a tree’s age and height as a coordinate.
Scatter Plot Description:
- The points are spread out, indicating a relationship between age and height.
- There is no perfect trend, but it appears as though height increases generally as age increases, with a few fluctuations.

Related Questions:
- What is the general relationship between the age and height of the trees based on the scatter plot?
- How could the trend in the scatter plot be analyzed mathematically (e.g., line of best fit)?
- Is there any age value where the height seems unusually low or high compared to the trend?
- Can we estimate the height of a tree at age 10 using interpolation?
- How can we use a graphing tool (like Excel or Desmos) to create this scatter plot?
Tip:
Always check for outliers or irregular points when analyzing scatter plots.
