Samples of students in each of the U.S. states periodically take part in a large-scale assessment called the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP). The table below shows the percent of students in the northeastern states (as defined by the U.S. Census Bureau) who answered Problems 7 and 15 correctly on the 2011 eighth-grade test. How many different points will be located on a scatter plot of this data?

• 8

• 9

• 27

• 58

Answer explanation

Although there are nine states in our table, two of the states (New Hampshire and Rhode Island) share the same data point (29, 52), so there will only be 8 data points on a scatter plot.
