Question

the scatterplot shows how much ice cream people consume in relation to outside temperature. ice cream consumption vs. temperature which conclusion or inference is best supported by data? ∘ no one eats ice cream when the temperature is below 40°f. ∘ temperature affects the amount of ice cream people eat. ∘ people get tired of eating so much ice cream in the summer months. ∘ it has to be above 50°f for a person to eat more than 0.35 pints of ice cream.

Explanation:

• Analyze each option:
• Option 1: The scatterplot has data points below 40°F (e.g., at 20 - 30°F), so people do eat ice cream below 40°F. Eliminate.
• Option 2: As temperature increases, ice cream consumption (pints per person) generally increases (positive trend in scatterplot). This shows temperature affects ice cream intake.
• Option 3: The plot shows increasing consumption with temperature, not "tiredness" (no data on that). Eliminate.
• Option 4: There are points above 0.35 pints below 50°F (e.g., around 40°F). Eliminate.

Answer:

Temperature affects the amount of ice cream people eat.
