Question

The table compares the gas mileage to the distance the car can travel on one tank of gas. Make a scatter plot of the data. Then tell whether the data have a positive association, a negative association, or no association.

Answer 1

The association of the data represented by the table is a positive association and the scatter plot is (a)

How to determine the association of the data represented by the table

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

The table of values

From the table of values, we can see that generally

The points are whole numbers

Also, we can see that

As the x values increases the y values increases

This represents a [positive linear] association.

Hence, the association of the data represented by the table is a positive association.
