Question

Ms. Snifflebottom warned her students about the effects of to many video games on study habits. She conducted a survey of 18 students to compare weekly hours studying with weekly hours playing video games. The results are shown in the scatter plot above. Which statement below is an accurate interpretation of the data?

B Students who play more video games tend to study more.Students who play more video games tend to study more.
C There is no association with time spent on video games and hours studying.There is no association with time spent on video games and hours studying.
D Students who study more, tend to play more video games.Students who study more, tend to play more video games.

Answer 1

Without seeing the actual scatter plot, I can make an educated guess based on common patterns observed in scatter plots involving study habits and video game play. Typically, you might expect that as students spend more time playing video games, their study time decreases, or at least there may be an inverse correlation.

Given the options you provided, the interpretation that is likely accurate based on the expected relationship is:

**A**: Students who played fewer hours on video games generally studied more.

This choice suggests a negative correlation between video game playing and studying, which aligns with what is often observed in similar studies. However, to be completely accurate, it would be essential to refer to the scatter plot itself for confirmation.
