Question

Which statements correctly describe the data shown in the scatter plot?

Select each correct answer.


The scatter plot has an outlier at (17,6) .

The scatter plot has a cluster with a range from 5 to 7.

The scatter plot has a cluster with a domain from 5 to 7.

The scatter plot has an outlier at (6,17) .

Answer 1

Option 1 and Option 2 are correct.

Explanation:

For the given scatter plot we will analyze the options given.

1). The scatter plot has an outlier at (17,6).

As we can see the point outside the cluster is (17, 6). True.

2). The scatter plot has a cluster with range from 5 to 7.

We know the range of a function or graph is represented by y axis. Therefore, scatter plot has cluster which has a range from 5 to 7. True

3). The scatter plot has a cluster with a domain from 5 to 7.

As we know domain of a graph is determined by the values of x coordinates.

Here cluster with range 5 to 7 has x values(Domain) 6 to 8. Therefore it's False.

4).The scatter plot has an outlier at (6, 17).

As we have already seen the outlier has the coordinates as (17, 6) so It's False.

Answer 2

We have been given a scatter plot and we are asked to choose the correct statements from the provided options.

Now let us see all options one by one.

On looking at the scatter plot we can see an outlier. Now let us find its coordinates. Its coordinates are (17,6). So we can say that first option is correct.

Second option is also correct as we can see a cluster with a range from 5 to 7.(along y-axis).

Now let us look on domain from 5 to 7. We can see that cluster is in the domain from 6 to 8 instead of 5 to 7. So this option is incorrect.

We have already seen that outlier's coordinates are (17,6) and we don't have any outlier with coordinates (6,17). So this option is not true indeed.

Therefore, only first two options are correct.
