Question

directions - for the graph, answer the following questions based on the scenario. for an algebra class, all students took a unit 5 test. their scores and the amount of hours they studied are contained in the graph below. each letter represents
(a)

score on test (%)

time spent studying (hours)

a) which data - set is labeled on the x - axis? b) which data - set is labeled on the y - axis? c) what type of correlation is illustrated?
d) which student(s) scored the highest?

Explanation:

Step1: Identify x - axis data

The x - axis is labeled "Time Spent Studying (Hours)", so the data set labeled on the x - axis is the time spent studying.

Step2: Identify y - axis data

The y - axis is labeled "Score on Test (%)", so the data set labeled on the y - axis is the test scores.

Step3: Determine correlation

As the time spent studying increases, the test scores generally increase. So, it is a positive correlation.

Step4: Find highest - scoring student

By looking at the y - values of each point, we can see that student J has the highest y - value (score).

Answer:

a) Time spent studying
b) Score on test
c) Positive correlation
d) Student J
