Question

Zander is comparing the height and weight of his friends and family members. He'd like to create a data display to see if there is a relationship between his friends' height and weight. Below is the scatter plot he designed.

A scatter plot labeled Height and Weight is shown. The x-axis is labeled Height (in inches) and has tick marks ranging from 0 to 80, separated by increments of 10. The y-axis is labeled Weight (in pounds) and has tick marks ranging from 0 to 250, sepa

Explain, using complete sentences, whether or not this is the most appropriate format for representing this data and why. If it is not the best format, explain which format should have been used instead. (5 points)

Answer 1

No, I don't believe this is the most appropriate format, the scatter plot is good but the weight section is not labeled correctly, the dollar signs don't belong, they are irrelevant to weight and height. And the height section should be changed to feet instead of inches, it would just make more sense.

Answer 2

I believe it is a good representation because it shows the differences in the heights to the weights.
