Constructing Scatterplots

Question 7 • Pre-Algebra B

Which investigative question would lead to the collection of data that can be represented by a scatterplot?

Answer
A
How tall did the plant grow?
B
How many hours of sunlight did the plant receive?
C
How do the hours of sunlight a plant receives affect its growth?
D
How does a plant’s growth affect the hours of sunlight a plant receives?

Explanation

A scatterplot shows the relationship between two numerical variables. Choice C asks how hours of sunlight relate to plant growth, so you would collect paired measurements of sunlight hours and growth for each plant. Choices A and B each ask about just one variable, while D reverses the relationship being investigated.
