Question

practice problems; lesson 3
here is a table and a scatter plot that show data for a basketball team during a tournament.

1. circle the point that represents the data for player e.
2. what does the point (2.1, 18.6) represent?
3. in that same tournament, player o on another team scored 14.3 points per game with 4.0 free throw attempts per game. plot a point on the graph that shows this information.

Explanation:

1. Locate Player E in the table: they have 3.1 free throw attempts per game (x-axis) and 10.4 points per game (y-axis). Find the corresponding point on the scatter plot and circle it.
2. Match the coordinates to the table columns: the first value is free throw attempts per game, the second is points per game. This pair matches Player B's data.
3. On the scatter plot, find 4.8 on the x-axis (free throw attempts) and 14.3 on the y-axis (points per game), then plot a point at their intersection.

Answer:

1. Circle the point at (3.1, 10.4) on the scatter plot.
2. The point (2.1, 18.6) represents Player B, who had 2.1 free throw attempts per game and scored 18.6 points per game during the tournament.
3. Plot a point at the intersection of x=4.8 (free throw attempts per game) and y=14.3 (points per game) on the scatter plot.
