Answer 1

To create a scatter plot based on the data provided, you would plot the points corresponding to each (x, y) pair:

• (5, 2)
• (2, 7)
• (9, 0)
• (3, 3)
• (4, 6)
• (7, 3)
• (0, 6)
• (1, 7)

After plotting these points on a graph, you would evaluate the correlation between the x values and the y values.

Now, to fill in the guided sentence:

Answer: The scatter plot shows a negative correlation because as the plotted values of x increase, the values of y generally decrease.
