Question

The scatter plot shows the number of orders placed for flowers before Valentine's Day at one shop. Based

on this relationship, predict the number of flower orders placed on February 12.

Answer 1

Based on the pattern observed in the scatter plot, the predicted number of flower orders on February 12 is 23.

To make a prediction based on the scatter plot, we can look for a pattern in the relationship between the date in February (x-axis) and the number of flower orders (y-axis). One way to do this is to calculate the average number of flower orders for each date range and use that to predict the number of orders on February 12.

Let's calculate the average number of flower orders for each date range:

- Between 4 and 6: (4 + 6) / 2 = 5

- 6: 10

- Between 6 and 8: (10 + 14) / 2 = 12

- 8: 21

- Between 8 and 10: (21 + 25) / 2 = 23

Now, we can estimate the number of flower orders on February 12. Since it falls between 8 and 10, we can use the average of the corresponding values:

(21 + 25) / 2 = 23

So, based on the pattern observed in the scatter plot, the predicted number of flower orders on February 12 is 23.
