To determine the correct pair of quantities from the given options based on the context of a graph, we would typically look at the axes of the graph and the variables that are being represented. However, since the graph itself is not provided, I will outline the likely scenarios for each choice:
-
The two quantities are the x-values and the y-values.
- This option is very general and typically applies to any graph, so it may be correct, but does not provide specific context.
-
The two quantities are the average rainfall in inches and the years.
- This option indicates a graph where average rainfall (inches) changes over time (years). Common in studies about climate patterns.
-
The two quantities are the average rainfall in inches and the month of the year.
- This option indicates a monthly breakdown of rainfall, suggesting that the graph is measuring variation in average rainfall month by month.
-
The two quantities are inches and months of the year.
- This option seems less specific as it only mentions "inches" without specifying "rainfall," and doesn't clearly link months to any other context.
Without the graph for reference, it’s hard to definitively pick the correct answer, but if the graph is certainly depicting rainfall over time, either the second or third option might fit best, depending on whether the focus is on yearly trends or monthly averages. If it is monthly data, then the third option is the most precise:
The two quantities are the average rainfall in inches and the month of the year.
If you know that the graph depicts average rainfall for specific years, then the second option would be appropriate.
