Dr. Wong has a table of data in her veterinary office that shows the average lifespans and weights of several popular dog breeds. Alfonso made a scatterplot of these data
for a math project.

Answer the questions to make predictions about the lifespan of a specific breed of
dog.
1. Describe the association shown by this scatterplot.
Write your answer in the space below.

2.Alfonso is thinking of getting a bloodhound. Bloodhounds usually weigh about 90 pounds. Based on the data, estimate for the lifespan of a bloodhound. Explain how you made your estimate.

3. Alfonso’s friend Dani tells Alfonso that her bloodhound lived to be 14.
Based on what you know, do you think this was because:

- Alfonso didn’t use a good estimation method,
- Dani doesn’t remember her bloodhounds age correctly, or,
- Dani’s bloodhound lived an unusually long time?
