The table shows the snow data for Sept 2020–Aug 2021 in order by month. Represent the data as a scatterplot please.

Answer 1

I can't create visual content directly, but I can describe how to create a scatterplot using the provided snow data for Denver International Airport.

Here’s how you can create a scatterplot:

1. **Prepare Your Data**: You'll be plotting the months on the x-axis and the corresponding snow totals on the y-axis.
- Months (x-axis):
- 1 (September)
- 2 (October)
- 3 (November)
- 4 (December)
- 5 (January)
- 6 (February)
- 7 (March)
- 8 (April)
- 9 (May)
- 10 (June)
- 11 (July)
- 12 (August)

- Snow Totals (y-axis):
- 3.1, 13.5, 34, 12.6, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1.0, 4.0, 5.0, 7.0

2. **Create Axes**:
- Label the x-axis as "Month" and the y-axis as "Snow Total (inches)".

3. **Plot the Points**:
- For each month, plot the corresponding snow total. For instance:
- September (1, 3.1)
- October (2, 13.5)
- November (3, 34)
- December (4, 12.6)
- January (5, 0)
- February (6, 0)
- March (7, 0)
- April (8, 0)
- May (9, 1.0)
- June (10, 4.0)
- July (11, 5.0)
- August (12, 7.0)

4. **Connect the Points** (if desired):
- You can either leave the points unconnected for a true scatterplot or connect them to visualize trends.

5. **Add Titles and Labels**:
- Title your scatterplot something like "Monthly Snow Totals at Denver International Airport (Sept 2020 - Aug 2021)".
- Ensure each axis is clearly labeled.

If you use a software tool (like Excel, Google Sheets, or specialized graphing software), you can input the data and create a scatterplot automatically. Simply select the data and choose the scatterplot option from the chart types available.
