Fernando surveyed a group of people to find their shoe size and the number of children in their family. He graphed the ordered pairs (shoe size, number of children) for each person. Which of the scatter plots most likely represents his graph?
Scatter plot I shows points approximating a line decreasing from the upper left to the bottom right.
Scatter plot I I shows points with no approximate pattern.
Scatter plot I I I shows points approximating a line increasing form the bottom left to the upper right.
A. I - negative trend
B. II - no trend
C. III - positive trend

It is impossible to determine the correct answer without visually seeing the scatter plot that Fernando created.
Scatter plot I shows points approximating a line decreasing from the upper left to the bottom right.
Scatter plot I I shows points with no approximate pattern.
Scatter plot I I I shows points approximating a line increasing form the bottom left to the upper right.
Scatter plot I I shows points with no approximate pattern.
Scatter plot I I I shows points approximating a line increasing form the bottom left to the upper right.
Based on the description, the most likely scatter plot that represents Fernando's graph is scatter plot I, which has a negative trend.
