Question

data values were gathered and are summarized in the table.

height (in inches)	free throw percentage
68	85
72	81
74	70
75	74

which of the following is the best type of display for the data?

• histogram
• segmented bar graph
• scatter plot
• circle graph

Explanation:

To determine the best data display, we analyze the data type: the table has two quantitative variables (Height and Free Throw Percentage) and we want to show their relationship. A scatter plot is used to display the relationship between two quantitative variables. A histogram is for single - variable distribution of continuous data, a segmented bar graph is for categorical data comparison, and a circle graph (pie chart) is for showing proportions of a whole. Since we have two quantitative variables and want to see their association, a scatter plot is the best choice.

Answer:

Scatter plot
