Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration of a scatterplot shows x on x-axis from 65 to 75 in increments of 1 and y on the y-axis from 200 to 240 in increments of 2.5. Eleven points are plotted. The approximate plotted points are as follows: left parenthesis 65 comma 205 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 67 comma 216 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 68 comma 210 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 68 comma 218 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 69 comma 224 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 70 comma 220 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 70 comma 224 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 71 comma 230 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 72 comma 235 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 74 comma 200 right parenthesis, and left parenthesis 74 comma 240 right parenthesis.
Is there a relationship between the two sets of data? How do you know?
(1 point)
Responses
A No, because the data points are close to the trend line.
B Yes, because the data points are not close to the trend line.
C Yes, because the data points are close to the trend line.
D No, because the data points are not close to the trend line.
The answer to the question is:
C Yes, because the data points are close to the trend line.
Based on the information given, the correct answer is D) No, because the data points are not close to the trend line.
To determine if there is a relationship between the two sets of data, we need to analyze the scatterplot. Look at the distribution of the data points relative to the trend line.
In this case, the given scatterplot does not mention a trend line, but we can make observations based on the plotted points.
If the points are clustered around a line or a curved pattern, it suggests a relationship between the two variables. On the other hand, if the points are scattered randomly without any discernible pattern, it indicates no clear relationship.
Looking at the given data points, it is difficult to determine if they are close to a trend line without the actual plot. However, based on the information provided, we cannot determine a strong association or pattern between the x and y values.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
D No, because the data points are not close to the trend line.
