7 - The scatter plot represents the relationship between the number of minutes studying and the test score. As the number of minutes studying increases, the test score also tends to increase.
8 - The points on the scatter plot are spread out in a somewhat linear fashion, indicating a moderate positive correlation.
9 - The y-intercept of the line of best fit would show a happiness score of around 40 when there is $0 income.
10 - The scatter plot shows a weak positive correlation. As the x-values increase, the y-values also slightly increase, but it is not a strong relationship.
11 - The line of best fit represents the general trend or relationship between the two variables. It shows how the y-values tend to change as the x-values change. The line can also be used to make predictions about the y-values based on the x-values.
