Question

10 the state that spends the least amount of money per pupil has the lowest average test scores. chart: average state reading scores of 4th graders vs per pupil spending (2005-2006) with scatter plot, axes: per pupil expenditure (\\$0 to \\$16,000) and average reading score (200 to 235) options: true, false

Explanation:

To determine if the state with the least per - pupil spending has the lowest average test score, we analyze the scatter plot. The x - axis is the average reading score (test score) and the y - axis is per - pupil expenditure. A state with the least per - pupil spending (lowest y - value) would have a point at the bottom of the y - axis. Looking at the plot, the points with the lowest y - values (least per - pupil spending) do not correspond to the lowest x - values (lowest test scores). In fact, some states with relatively low per - pupil spending have moderate to relatively high test scores. So the statement is false.

Answer:

False
