Constructing Scatterplots — Quiz

Question 9 • Mathematics 8

Dependent variable C depends on both independent variable A and independent variable B. Which statement is correct?

Answer
A
The relationship between independent variable A and dependent variable C and the relationship between independent variable B and dependent variable C can both be analyzed using the same scatterplot.
B
Only the relationship between independent variable A and dependent variable C can be analyzed using a scatterplot.
C
The relationship between independent variable A and dependent variable C, and the relationship between independent variable B and dependent variable C can both be analyzed, but they must be analyzed using separate scatterplots.
D
Only the relationship between independent variable B and dependent variable C can be analyzed using a scatterplot.

Explanation

A scatterplot displays the relationship between two variables at a time. To examine how C varies with A, plot A against C; to examine how C varies with B, plot B against C. These relationships can both be analyzed, but they require separate scatterplots because A and B are different horizontal variables.
