What type of data is represented in this scatterplot? (Choose 3)

(3 points)

Increasing

Bivariate

Univariate

Non Linear Relationship

Decreasing

Linear Relationship

Answer 1

The three types of data represented in this scatterplot are:

1) Bivariate - because the data includes two variables, temperature (x-axis) and feet above/below sea level (y-axis), which are being measured and compared.

2) Non Linear Relationship - because the scatterplot does not show a straight line pattern, indicating that there is a non-linear relationship between the temperature and the feet above/below sea level.

3) Decreasing - because as the temperature increases, the feet above/below sea level decreases, as indicated by the scatterplot.
