(a) Create a scatter plot of the data.
(b) Do the points appear to follow a linear pattern? If so, is the correlation positive or negative?

Respuesta :

To create a scatter plot, you plot each piece of data on the coordinate plane as a point. For example, the first one is (15, 6).

No, the points do not appear to following a linear pattern. It is a quadratic pattern. The values goes up and then they fall back down.
