Part A: The given scatter plot represent the positive relation between temperature and sales of popsicles.

Part B:The equation of best fit line is . Slope of the line is 1/5 and y-intercept is 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A:

From the given graph it is clear that x-axis represents the temperature in Fahrenheit and y-axis represents the number of popsicles she sold daily.

From the given scatter plot it is clear that the number of popsicles she sold daily increases as the temperature increases.

Therefore the given scatter plot represent the positive relation between temperature and sales of popsicles.

Part B:

The given scatter plot represent the positive relation between two variables and it represents strong positive correlation because the data points lie about a straight line.

Let the two points on the best fir line are (40,10) and (90,20).

The equation of best fit line is

Add 10 on both the sides.

Therefore, the equation of best fit line is . Slope of the line is 1/5 and y-intercept is 2.

Answer from: amc9639

Part A: There is one outlier, but this graph shows a positive correlation. In other words, the number of popsicles increases as the temperature increases.

Part B: For this part, we can make a straight line that goes through the correlation by looking at the points and seeing what will work. In this case, we will use the points (40, 10) and (50, 12) to find the slope of the line. In case you don't know, the formula for finding slope is y2 - y1/x2 - x1. That makes the formula 12 - 10/ 50 - 40. Solving this will get you 2/10 or 1/5 in simplest form. 1/5 is the slope of the line. We can find a y-intercept by using one of the points. Let's use (40, 10). The equation becomes 10 = 1/5(40) + b. 1/5 * 40 is 8. Subtract 8 from both sides to isolate the b. 10 - 8 is 2. 2 = b. The y-intercept is 2. If you draw the line, you can see that the y-intercept is 2, and even without drawing it, you can visualize that the y-intercept would be 2.
