QuestionListen
Describe the relationship between the data. Identify any outliers, gaps, or clusters.
The data show a nonlinear relationship.
Outlier(s): between -values of 15 to 20 and -values of 10 to 45
Gap: at
Clusters:
Studdy Solution
STEP 1
What is this asking?
We need to describe how the plotted points relate to each other, and point out any odd data points, gaps, or bunches of data.
Watch out!
Don't confuse gaps and outliers!
An outlier is a data point far from the others.
A gap is an empty space within the data.
STEP 2
1. Relationship
2. Outliers
3. Gaps
4. Clusters
STEP 3
Looking at the scatter plot, the data points don't form a straight line.
Instead, they seem to curve, forming a U shape.
This tells us the relationship is **nonlinear**!
STEP 4
An **outlier** is like that one friend who always stands a bit apart in a group photo.
In our scatter plot, the data point between the -values of **15 to 20** and -values of **10 to 45** is our outlier.
It's quite far from the general trend of the other points.
STEP 5
A **gap** is like a missing tooth in a smile.
In our scatter plot, we can spot a gap around the point .
There's a noticeable empty space there where we might expect to see data based on the surrounding points.
STEP 6
**Clusters** are like groups of friends huddled together at a party.
In our scatter plot, the data points are spread out fairly evenly along the curve.
There aren't any distinct groups or bunches of data points.
So, no clusters here!
STEP 7
The data show a **nonlinear relationship**.
There's an **outlier** between -values of **15 to 20** and -values of **10 to 45**.
There's a **gap** at .
There are **no clusters**.
