The number of students, y, still participating in the final round of a school spelling bee compared to the number of spelling words attempted, x, can be represented by a scatter plot with a negative, linear association. Which equation for a line of best fit could be used to represent the number of students still participating in the final round of the school spelling bee given a number of spelling words attempted?

The scatter plot below shows the rainfall, in millimeters, recorded each day during a 20-day period.

On which day was the rainfall recorded an outlier?

1

A scatter plot is graphed on the coordinate grid shown below.

Which equation best describes a line of best fit for the data?

1

The scatter plot below shows the temperatures (y), in degrees Fahrenheit (oF), that were recorded at different altitudes (x), in thousands of feet.

A running club keeps track of the number of hours each person has trained for a race and the length of time it takes the person to run the race. A scatter plot is graphed with the x-axis indicating the number of hours a runner has trained and the y-axis indicating the time, in minutes, it took to run the race. The equation y=60-0.5x is used as the line of best fit of the data. What does the slope of the equation represent?

1

The number of tickets sold for events at a theater last year varied with the cost per ticket, as shown in the scatter plot below.

Based on the equation of the line of best fit for the scatter plot, which statement about the relationship between cost per ticket and number of tickets sold is true?

1

Blake interviewed 24 students to see whether they collected sports cards and whether they participated in sports. The table below shows his data.

How many of the students Blake interviewed participate in sports?

1

Some students were surveyed to determine if they prefer soccer or baseball. The results are shown in the two-way table below.

Based on the results of the survey, what percent of the girls surveyed prefer soccer to baseball?

The scatter plot below shows the results of a survey of 16 people. They were asked how many days per week they eat breakfast and how many days per week they go to the gym.
