The weights of children in the Egyptian village of Nahya were recorded. Here are the mean weights of the 170 children in that village: Age(months) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 Weight (kg) 4.3 5.1 5.7 6.3 6.8 7.1 7.2 7.2 7.2 7.2 7.5 7.8 a. Make a scatter plot of mean weight against age. b. Is there a positive or negative association between the two variables

Kindly check explanation and attached picture

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data:

Age(months) : 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

Weight (kg) : 4.3 5.1 5.7 6.3 6.8 7.1 7.2 7.2 7.2 7.2 7.5 7.8

a. Make a scatter plot of mean weight against age.

Scatter plot of mean weight against age can be found in the attached picture

b. Is there a positive or negative association between the two variables

There is a positive association between the weight and age variable ; as weight increases as age increases. Also the slope of the best fit line is positive

answer: the equation matches the regression
