The scatter plot shows the test scores of a group of students who played video games for different amounts of time in a day.

A graph shows Hours Playing Video Games on x axis and Test Score on y axis. The graph is shown with scale along x axis from 0 to 10 at increments of 1 and scale along y axis from 0 to 100 at increments of 10. The ordered pairs 0, 90 and 0.2, 100 and 1,89 and 1.2,82 and 1.4, 86 and 1.6,95 and 1.8,98 and 2.5, 90 and 3.8, 82 and 4.1, 68 and 4.2, 75 and 5.6,58 and 6,72 and 6.8,58 and 7.1,69 and 7.5,45 and 8,55 and 8.9,42 and 9.8,30 are shown on the graph.
