Use the illustration to answer the questions.
A scatterplot shows the number of cups of coffee sold versus temperature.
The horizontal axis shows temperature, in degrees Fahrenheit, ranging from 0 to 70 in increments of 5, with an initial jump from 0 to 25. The vertical axis shows number of cups of coffee sold, ranging from 0 to 60 in increments of 10. A kink is shown on the horizontal axis close to origin. A tightly packed cluster of data plots is plotted between 30 to 37 on the horizontal axis and 42 to 48 on the vertical axis. A loosely packed cluster of data plots is plotted between 40 to 51 on the horizontal axis 30 and 38 on the vertical axis and. A dot is plotted at 62 on the horizontal axis and 5 on the vertical axis.
Interpret the scatterplot by describing any outliers and patterns of clustering.
Based on the given information, there are no outliers mentioned in the scatterplot.
There are two patterns of clustering observed in the scatterplot.
The first pattern is a tightly packed cluster of data plots between 30 to 37 on the horizontal axis and 42 to 48 on the vertical axis. This indicates that within this specific temperature range, there is a consistent number of cups of coffee sold.
The second pattern is a loosely packed cluster of data plots between 40 to 51 on the horizontal axis and 30 to 38 on the vertical axis. This suggests that within this temperature range, there is some variation in the number of cups of coffee sold.
Additionally, there is a single dot plotted at 62 on the horizontal axis and 5 on the vertical axis. This suggests that at a temperature of 62 degrees Fahrenheit, only 5 cups of coffee were sold.
