Math Problem Statement
Solution
To create a scatter plot for the given data, follow these steps:
-
Label the axes:
- The horizontal axis (x-axis) represents the time spent watching TV (in hours).
- The vertical axis (y-axis) represents the time spent doing homework (in hours).
-
Plot the points: Using the table, plot the following coordinate pairs:
- (4, 12)
- (5, 10)
- (6, 7)
- (9, 8)
- (10, 5)
- (12, 4)
- (13, 3)
How to Plot:
- Start at the x-value (time spent watching TV), move upwards to the corresponding y-value (time spent doing homework).
- For example:
- For the first point (4, 12), locate "4" on the x-axis and "12" on the y-axis, then mark that point.
General Observations:
Once plotted, the scatter plot will likely show a negative correlation. This means that as the time spent watching TV increases, the time spent doing homework decreases.
Let me know if you need me to draw the graph or explain further details about correlations in scatter plots.
