Question

The following table shows the measurements of sharks at an aquarium. Choose the scatter plot that represents the data.

hintHint:

Scatterplot is a visual representation tool for a given set of data wherein 2 variables are represented on either of the x-axis and y-axis on a graph paper.
We will select the correct answer from the given options that has all the points from the given table plotted on it.

The correct answer is:


    GIVEN-
    Table showing measurement of sharks at an aquarium.
    TO FIND-
    Correct scatter from the given options that best represent the given table.
    SOLUTION-
    We observe from the given table that the scatterplot should have the following points to represent the data set correctly as the x and y coordinates- (0.07,18); (68,165); (70,210); (82,210); (85,220); (90,300); (100,320) and (105,320).
    In the scatterplot given in option b, the first observation i.e. (0.07,18) is not plotted (marked).
    Hence, option b is eliminated.
    In the scatterplot given in option a and d, the second observation i.e. (68,165) is not plotted (marked).
    Hence, option a and d are also eliminated.
    FINAL ANSWER-
    Option 'c' is the correct answer to the given question.
