The highest point in the scatter is the point for Illinois, at 1807. The two just below it, at 1778 and 1777, are for Minnesota and Iowa. The lowest points are at 1391 and 1385, for Maine and D.C. respectively.

Answer 4

You do not mention what is being measured. Do the numbers represent SAT Scores or the number of people who took the test (participation rates)?

Points on a scatter diagram are each represented by two numbers, one on the ordinate (Y axis) and the other on the abscissa (X axis).

With the current absence of data, I would pick 2.
