Number of Cups of Lemonade, 15, 35, 22 18, 8, 26, 10, 18, 34
Jeremiah had a lemonade stand. The table shows how much lemonade he sold versus the temperature of the day. What would the scatterplot that represents the data look like?

Answer 1

The scatterplot would show a positive correlation between temperature and number of cups of lemonade sold. As the temperature increases, so does the number of cups sold. The points on the graph would be situated in a generally upward direction. There may be some variability in the data, but the trend would be clear.
