Fernando surveyed a group of people to find their shoe size and the number of children in their family. He graphed the ordered pairs (shoe size, number of children) for each person. Which of the scatter plots most likely represents his graph?
Scatter plot I shows points approximating a line decreasing from the upper left to the bottom right.
Scatter plot I I shows points with no approximate pattern.
Scatter plot I I I shows points approximating a line increasing form the bottom left to the upper right.
A. I - negative trend
B. II - no trend
C. III - positive trend.
It is impossible to determine the correct answer without seeing Fernando's actual graph and data.
could you guess?
If Fernando found that people with larger shoe sizes tend to have more children, then the scatter plot with points approximating a line increasing from the bottom left to the upper right (III - positive trend) would be the most likely representation of his data. However, without more information about his findings, the answer cannot be determined with certainty.
The scatter plot that most likely represents Fernando's graph is:
C. III - positive trend
