Question

the table provided below shows paired data for the heights of a certain countrys presidents and their main opponents in the election campaign. construct a scatterplot. does there appear to be a correlation? click the icon to view the data table for election heights. construct a scatterplot. choose the correct graph below. data table for election heights presidents height (cm) opponents height (cm) presidents height (cm) opponents height (cm) 196 172 177 196 168 188 187 188 169 193 170 175 175 175 179 191 195 189 182 188 177 188 180 168 187 173 171 173 178 172 168 180

Explanation:

Step1: Identify x - and y - variables

Let the president's height be the x - variable and the opponent's height be the y - variable.

Step2: Plot the points

For each pair of values in the data table (e.g., (196,172), (168,188) etc.), plot a point on the graph with the x - coordinate as the president's height and y - coordinate as the opponent's height.
Looking at the data points and comparing with the given scatter - plots:
When we plot the points from the data table, we can see that the points are scattered randomly. There is no clear upward or downward linear trend.
Comparing with the given graphs, the correct scatter - plot is one where the points are randomly distributed.

Answer:

A.
