The owner of a fruit stand gathered data for a week about the number of watermelons, pumpkins, and cantaloupes sold each day. She represented the data in two scatter plots. Does either scatter plot indicate a positive correlation between the variables?

A.) only plot A
B.) only plot B
C.) both plot A and plot B
D.) neither plot A nor plot B

The reasoning is because all of the points for plot A are fairly close to the same straight line. This straight line has a positive slope. We call this line the regression line.

In contrast, plot B seems to have the points randomly scattered about. We can't draw a good fitting straight line to get near all of the points. So plot B does not show positive linear correlation.

Side note: the correlation coefficient for plot A will have its r value close to 1. The r value for plot B will be close to 0.

The answer is A.) only plot A

0.85 or 85%

step-by-step explanation:

1) divide 23 by 27

2) round the decimal to the nearest 10

3) so your answer would be 0.85 or 85%

step-by-step explanation:

given perimeter: 28cm

length: 9cm

atp,

2(l+w)=p of the reactangle

2(9+x)=28

18+2x=28

2x=28-18

x=10/2

x=5

therefore width is 5 cm
