The cell phone company decided to collect similar data, but this time they collected information of texting speed according to age. Use the process of creating a scatterplot to describe how to create a scatterplot of the new data. make the writing short

To create a scatterplot for texting speed according to age, follow these steps:

  1. Collect Data: Gather data that includes ages of individuals and their corresponding texting speeds (e.g., words per minute).

  2. Select Axes: Decide on the axes for the scatterplot:

    • X-axis: Age of individuals.
    • Y-axis: Texting speed.
  3. Plot Points: For each data entry, plot a point on the graph where the x-coordinate represents the age and the y-coordinate represents the texting speed.

  4. Label Axes: Clearly label the X-axis as "Age" and the Y-axis as "Texting Speed (WPM)".

  5. Title the Graph: Give your scatterplot a descriptive title, such as "Texting Speed by Age".

  6. Analyze: Look for trends, clusters, or correlations in the plotted data points to interpret the relationship between age and texting speed.

This process effectively visualizes how texting speed varies with age.
