  • Q #1: The scatter plot below shows the relationship between the number of hours a student listens to music and the student’s test scores. Which of the following types of correlation is shown on the scatter plot?

    A. Positive

    B. Positive and negative

    C. No correlation

    D. Negative

    Answer Explanation

    scatter plots can of three types: positive, negative and no correlation. A positive correlation scatter plot shows that as one variable increase, the other variable increases. A positive correlation can be visually depicted below.

    In a negative correlation, the change in one variable is inversely proportional to another variable. That is, as one variable increases, the other variable decreases as shown below.

    The third type of scatter plot is a no-correlation scatter plot. In this type of plot, there is no defined relationship between one variable and another one as in the curve below.

    If we look at the relationship between the time the student listens to music and his test score, it is evident that no relationship exists between the two variables. Thus, this is a type of no correlation scatter plot.

    From the problem above, we are looking for the amount of gratuity the couple can leave.

    Let t be the amount of gratuity. Translating into an equation, we have

    The gratuity is 15% of the total bill, which becomes

    Here, of means multiply and we also convert percent into decimal before multiplying.

    So, the value of t=5.76

    Thus, a couple will leave a gratuity of $5.76, which is about $6.00.
