To construct the scatterplot based on the data provided, you can follow these steps:
-
Prepare the Data: We have two sets of data. The first set represents age (in years) and the second set represents average 5K marathon times (in minutes). Here’s the data again for reference:
- Ages: 24, 29, 34, 39, 44, 49
- Times: 32.75, 33.63, 34.84, 35.33, 35.23, 36.16
-
Create the Axes:
- X-axis: This will represent the ages of the runners.
- Y-axis: This will represent the average 5K marathon times.
-
Plot the Points: For each age, plot the corresponding time. The data points will be:
- (24, 32.75)
- (29, 33.63)
- (34, 34.84)
- (39, 35.33)
- (44, 35.23)
- (49, 36.16)
-
Visualize: You can use graphing software, online tools, or graph paper to plot these points.
If you are plotting it manually, here’s a simplified description of how it could look:
- For age 24, place a point at (24, 32.75).
- For age 29, place a point at (29, 33.63).
- For age 34, place a point at (34, 34.84).
- For age 39, place a point at (39, 35.33).
- For age 44, place a point at (44, 35.23).
- For age 49, place a point at (49, 36.16).
- Title and Labels: Make sure to label the axes:
- X-axis: "Age (years)"
- Y-axis: "Average 5K Marathon Time (minutes)"
- Provide a title for the scatterplot, like "Average 5K Marathon Times by Age".
If you would like, I can assist with a description of how to visualize it or guide you to tools that could help you create the scatterplot digitally.
