Question

Your math teacher caught you text messaging in class, again, so the teacher is making you give a presentation to your math class next week. Your assignment is to analyze the scatter plot that shows people's ages and the number of text messages sent in a day. In 3-5 sentences, explain what you see in the scatter plot below.

Answer 1

In this scatter plot; we have people ages 10-80 years of age & the amount of texts sent per day. As one can tell by reviewing the graph; the highest amount of texts were sent at roughly the ages of 18-20. With this, the lowest amount of texts sent per day were between the ages of 70-80. We see a skyrocket between ages 10-20 in amount of texting however then we see a decent in average amount of texts as one ages.

Answer 2

The dots plotted on the scatterplot closely follow a graph of exponential decline. The large number-- around 350 texts per day-- by 18-22year-olds, seems to decline exponentially as age increases. With a little work, it may be possible to plot the curve and write an equation to model the decline.
