Answer 1

The data represented in this scatterplot is best categorized as **bivariate** and **numerical**.

- **Bivariate**: This is because there are two variables being measured (age and number of times cried), and their relationship is being analyzed.
- **Numerical**: Both the age (in years) and the number of times cried (on average each month) are measured in numeric values.

So, the most appropriate responses from the list would be **bivariate** and **numerical**.
