To determine which conclusion about the data is the most correct, we need to evaluate the relationships between hours spent studying, hours spent scrolling social media, and exam grades based on the scatterplot data you mentioned.

  1. Hours spent studying and the exam grade have the strongest correlation.
  2. Hours spent scrolling social media and the exam grade have the strongest correlation.
  3. There doesn't appear to be a correlation between studying and the exam grade NOR scrolling social media and the exam grade.
  4. Hours spent studying and hours spent scrolling social media have the strongest correlation.

Without access to the specific scatterplots or data results, I can't definitively answer which statement is correct. However, here’s a general guideline to help you determine the correct conclusion:

  • If you have a strong positive or negative correlation (indicated by a clear linear trend) between hours studied and exam grades, then the first statement is most likely correct.
  • If you see a strong correlation between hours spent scrolling social media and exam grades, the second statement might be true.
  • If the scatterplots show no clear trend for both studying and social media to exam grades, then the third statement would be accurate.
  • If there is a strong correlation between hours spent studying and hours spent scrolling social media, the last statement would be valid.

Assess the scatterplots for these relationships and select the statement that aligns with your observations.
