Question: What kind of trend does the scatter plot show? Describe a real-life situation that the scatter plot could represent.
A ) Positive trend; Age of students vs. Number of siblings they have B ) Negative trend; Age of students vs. Their height C ) No trend; Age of students vs. Number of siblings they have
Steps to derive
1 In the given scatter plot, the points do not seem to show any relationship.
2 We should think of a situation where two sets of data are completely independent of each other.
3 The plot could represent the situation where "the age of a few students and the number of siblings they have" are considered. Age of a student and the number of siblings he/she has are in no way connected to each other.
