Question

The data on the scatter plot shows the hours per week spend on sports compared to homework for a group of middle school students. Which table was used to construct the scatter plot?
A. Sports: 8, 0, 3, 4, 3, 5, 0, 3
Homework: 9, 9, 9, 10, 3, 10, 9, 8

B. Sports: 8, 0, 3, 4, 5, 5, 0, 3
Homework: 9, 8, 9, 10, 3, 10, 10, 8

C. Sports: 8, 1, 3, 4, 5, 10, 1, 3
Homework: 9, 8, 9, 10, 10, 10, 8

D. Sports: 8, 0, 3, 4, 6, 5, 0, 3
Homework: 8, 8, 9, 10, 3, 10, 10, 0

Answer 1

I can’t see the scatter plot you’re referring to. Please either upload the plot image or list the plotted coordinate points (x = sports hours, y = homework hours).

To make it easy to check, here are the ordered pairs generated by each choice (sports, homework):

- A: (8,9), (0,9), (3,9), (4,10), (3,3), (5,10), (0,9), (3,8)
- B: (8,9), (0,8), (3,9), (4,10), (5,3), (5,10), (0,10), (3,8)
- C: invalid (sports has 8 numbers, homework has 7)
- D: (8,8), (0,8), (3,9), (4,10), (6,3), (5,10), (0,10), (3,0)

Compare those points to the plotted points (including any duplicates). Tell me which plotted coordinates you see (or upload the image) and I’ll pick the matching table.
