  • Q1
    The scatterplot shows the number of visitors to a beach each day and the high temperature in degrees Fahrenheit for that day. Based on this scatterplot, which statement appears to be true?
    Question Image
    There is a nonlinear correlation between the high temperature and the number of visitors to the beach.
    When the high temperature is above 100°F, fewer than 150 visitors are expected at the beach.
    There is no correlation between the high temperature and the number of visitors to the beach.
    When the high temperature is between 75°F and 90°F, more than 120 visitors are expected at the beach.
