3. Suzie went to the mall and surveyed shoppers to see how many items they had purchased and the total amount of money they had spent at the mall. She created the scatter plot below. Answer the following questions:
How many shoppers did Suzie survey?
Does the number of items purchased seem to have an effect on the amount of money a shopper spent? Explain.
The number of shoppers surveyed by Suzie is not provided in the given information or scatter plot. Therefore, we do not have the information to answer the first question.
Based on the scatter plot, it appears that there is a positive correlation between the number of items purchased and the amount of money spent by shoppers. This means that as the number of items purchased increases, the amount of money spent also tends to increase. However, it is important to note that correlation does not imply causation, and there could be other factors influencing the relationship between these two variables.
