Question

1. A department store kept records of how many fans were sold each day and the high temperature for that day. The results are shown in the scatterplot. Answer the questions about the scatterplot.

a. What is the explanatory variable (independent variable)? (1 point)



b. What is the response variable (dependent variable)? (1 point)



c. Circle the best range for the correlation coefficient. (1 point)
(–1 to –0.7) (–0.7 to –0.3) (–0.3 to 0) (0 to 0.3) (0.3 to 0.7) (0.7 to 1.0)

d. Based on this scatterplot, does a rise in temperature cause more fans to be sold? Why or why not? (3 points)

Answer 1

Answer:

a. What is the explanatory variable (independent variable)? (1 point)

Number of fans sold.

b. What is the response variable (dependent variable)? (1 point)

Outside temperature.

c. Circle the best range for the correlation coefficient. (1 point)

(–1 to –0.7) (–0.7 to –0.3) (–0.3 to 0) (0 to 0.3) (0.3 to 0.7) (0.7 to 1.0)

d. Based on this scatterplot, does a rise in temperature cause more fans to be sold? Why or why not? (3 points)

Yes because a rise in temperature causes fan sales to go up because people buy fans when it’s hot to cool off.
