The table to the right shows the average temperature during the day and the number of snow cones sold for several weeks. Use the data to construct a scatter plot on a separate paper.

• construct the scatter plot on a separate paper to use as a reference for future questions

• 💁🏻

Which of the following is a conclusion that you can make based on the scatter plot you constructed.

• As the average temperature increases, the snow cone sales increase.

• As the average temperature increases, the snow cone sales decrease.

• As the average temperature decreases, the snow cone sales increase.

• There is no association between the temperature and the number of snow cones sold.

On the scatter plot you constructed, are there any outliers?

• Yes, week 10 is an outlier since it is the greatest data point.

• Yes, week 1 is an outlier since it is the lowest data point

• Yes, week 7 is an outlier since it does not fit the general trend of data

• No, there are not any outliers in the data.

A scatter plot was made to show the number of homes in a city based on the year. A trend line was drawn on the graph with the equation of y=84x+265 where x is the number of years since 1995 and y is the total number of homes in the town. Predict the number of homes in the town in 2014.
