Question

lara collects data on books at the library. she records the number of times a book has been checked out and the number of months the book has been in circulation at the library. her data are shown in the table.

number of times checked out	number of months in circulation
8	9
3	4
2	3
6	7
3	5
5	7

a. use the add point tool to create a scatter - plot of the data.
b. select all of the properties that

Explanation:

Step1: Understand scatter - plot concept

A scatter - plot is used to show the relationship between two variables. Here, the two variables are the number of times a book is checked out (x - variable) and the number of months in circulation (y - variable).

Step2: Analyze the data trend

As the number of times a book is checked out increases (x - values: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8), the number of months in circulation also tends to increase (y - values: 3, 4, 5, 7, 7, 9). This indicates a positive association.

Step3: Determine linearity

The points seem to roughly follow a straight - line pattern, so there is a linear association.

Answer:

A. (Since this is not possible to actually create a scatter - plot in this text format, but the points to be plotted are (4,5), (8,9), (3,4), (2,3), (6,7), (3,5), (5,7))
B. Positive Association, Linear Association
