Problem 1 Got It? Make a scatter plot of the data in the table.
Be sure to include relevant graph detail: label axes, indicate units and scale on both axes, and use arrows to represent end behavior, as appropriate.

Question 8

Question 22
22.

Take Note: Describe a real-life example in which a change in one quanitity causes a change in another quantity.

Question 23
23.

Problem 4 Got It? Consider the situations in the left column below. Categorize each situation appropriately. Some situations belong in two categories.

  • the color of a person's socks and the amount of time she spends playing checkers
  • the cost of a family's vacation and the size of their house
  • the time spent exercising and the number of Calories burned
  • Little or no correlation
  • A correlation is likely
  • Not a causal relationship
  • A causal relationship is likely
