Question

The scatter plot shows the number of cars and trucks sold by 10 different employees at a car and truck dealership during a month.

How many employees sold more cars than trucks?



Enter your answer in the box.

Answer 1

3 employees

Explanation:

The best way to obtain a solution is to note the coordinate if each point on the scatter plot :

Where, the x - axis represents the number of cars sold and y - axis represents the number of trucks sold.

So, the number of employees that sold more cars than trucks exists where the x - axis value is greater than its corresponding y-axis value.

The scatter plot points : (2,4) (4,3) (3,7) (3,9) (4,8) (5,6) (5,7) (6,6) (9,0) and (10,1)

Points where x-axis > y-axis with each coordinate representing an employee :

(4,3) ; (9,0) and (10,1) = 3 employees.
