Question

1.SP.1 Shawna will create a scatterplot comparing the length of a string, in inches, to the

frequency it creates, in vibrations per second. She will use this table to create the
scatterplot.
A
B
C
D
Length of string
(inches)
Frequency
(vibrations per second)
15.75 23.62 31.5 39.37 47.24
660 440 330 264 220
What type of association will the scatterplot show?
A
B
D
irrational
zero
negative
positive

Answer 1

Explanation:

To determine the type of association shown in the scatterplot, we need to plot the data points and examine the trend.

When we plot the data points, we will see that as the length of the string increases, the frequency it creates decreases. This means that there is a negative association between the length of the string and the frequency it creates.

Therefore, the scatterplot will show a negative association.
