Question

plot the data in a scatter plot.
meditation (minutes) 4 8 10 4 18 4
sleep (hours) 4.5 9.5 8.5 6 10 7

Explanation:

Step1: Identify data pairs

Pairs: $(4, 4.5), (8, 9.5), (10, 8.5), (4, 6), (18, 10), (4, 7)$

Step2: Map x (Meditation) to x-axis

Align x-values to bottom axis ticks.

Step3: Map y (Sleep) to y-axis

Align y-values to left axis ticks.

Step4: Plot each data point

Mark each pair on the grid.

Answer:

The scatter plot will have the following points plotted:

• (4, 4.5): 4 on x-axis, 4.5 on y-axis
• (8, 9.5): 8 on x-axis, 9.5 on y-axis
• (10, 8.5): 10 on x-axis, 8.5 on y-axis
• (4, 6): 4 on x-axis, 6 on y-axis
• (18, 10): 18 on x-axis, 10 on y-axis
• (4, 7): 4 on x-axis, 7 on y-axis

Visual representation:

Meditation (x)	Sleep (y)	Plot Position Description
8	9.5	Halfway between 9 and 10 on y-axis, at 8 on x-axis
10	8.5	Halfway between 8 and 9 on y-axis, at 10 on x-axis
4	6	At 6 on y-axis, at 4 on x-axis
18	10	At 10 on y-axis, at 18 on x-axis
4	7	At 7 on y-axis, at 4 on x-axis
