Question

Tiffany surveyed some of her classmates to find the number of times they wrote the weekly spelling words. She also found the number of words they missed on the spelling test. The scatterplot shows the results of Tiffany’s survey. Which statement does NOT match Tiffany’s scatterplot?

Answer 1

Options :

A.) A student who missed 2 words on the test wrote each word 4 times.

B.) A student who wrote each word once missed 6 words on the test.

C.) A student who did not write the words missed 8 words on the test.

D.) A student who missed 4 words on the test wrote each word 3 times.

Answer:

A student who did not write the words missed 8 words on the test.

Explanation:

From the scatter plot, we could identify all the other points except that of option C.

For option A : (4, 2) is a marked point on the graph

For option B : (1, 6) is also a marked point on the graph

For option C : (0, 8) is not a marked point on the graph and hence, does not match Tiffany's scatter plot.
