Question

A movie theater is keeping data on the number of tickets sold and the price of a single ticket. Which scatterplot is correctly labeled? A graph has tickets sold on the x-axis and ticket price on the y-axis. A graph has cinema on the x-axis and sales on the y-axis. A graph has ticket price on the x-axis and tickets sold on the y-axis.

Answer 1

The scatter plot that is correctly labeled is

• A graph has tickets sold on the x-axis and ticket price on the y-axis

How to find the correct labeling

The correct scatterplot should have the labels as

• tickets sold on the x-axis and

• ticket price on the y-axis

This reflects the relationship between these two variables. Therefore, the correct description is

• A graph has tickets sold on the x-axis and ticket price on the y-axis.

The price is the output on the y axis and the input is number of tickets sold which is in the x-axis
