Practice Quiz-Scatter Plots

The scatter plot shows the relationship between average ice cream sales and average temperature over a single year. Several points are labeled A-D. What point represents the highest amount of sales over the hottest temperature?

• A

• B

• C

• D

Using the ice cream sales scatter plot. Which of the following is true?

• The scatter plot shows no relationship between ice cream sales and temperature.

• The scatter plot shows during low temperatures there are high ice cream sales.

• The scatter plot shows ice cream sales are always equal no matter the temperature.

• The scatter plot shows during that usually during high temperatures there are high ice cream sales.

Which table correlates to the following scatter plot?

• 
• 
• 
• 

What type of association does the following scatter plot have?

• positive and nonlinear association

Describe the association shown in the scatter plot.

• The scatter plot shows a positive linear association between driver age and max distance to read sign because as the age of the driver increases, the max distance to read sign increases.

• The scatter plot shows a positive nonlinear association between driver age and max distance to read sign because as the age of the driver increases, the max distance to read sign increases.

• The scatter plot shows a negative linear association between driver age and max distance to read sign because as the age of the driver increases, the max distance to read sign decreases.

• The scatter plot shows a negative nonlinear association between driver age and max distance to read sign because as the age of the driver increases, the max distance to read sign decreases.

• The scatter plot shows a no association between driver age and max distance to read sign because the age of the driver increases and the max distance to read sign show no association

Identify the clusters, correlation, and outliers in the scatter plot.

• There is a cluster between 250 and 750 on the x-axis, an outlier at (1500, 53,000) and this is a positive correlation.

• There is a cluster between 0 and 250 on the x-axis, an outlier at (1500, 53,000) and this is a negative correlation.

• There is a cluster between 500 and 750 on the x-axis, an outlier at (1500, 53,000) and this is a positive correlation.
