Question

which of the following is the best type of display for the given data?
weight (in kg) length (in cm)
0.5 5
0.4 8
0.8 10
0.9 14
1.4 17
box plot
circle graph
scatter plot
segmented bar graph

Explanation:

The data shows two - variable measurements (weight and length). A scatter - plot is used to display the relationship between two numerical variables. A box - plot shows the distribution of a single variable. A circle graph (pie chart) is for showing proportions of a whole. A segmented bar graph is for comparing parts of a whole across different categories. Since we have two numerical variables and want to see their relationship, a scatter - plot is best.

Answer:

Scatter plot
