A scatterplot has a horizontal x-axis labeled from negative 1 to 1 in increments of 0.25 and a vertical y-axis labeled from negative 1 to 1 in increments of 0.25. The following points are plotted: (0.25, 0.50), (0.50, 0.00), (negative 0.13, 0.13), (0.38, 0.25), (0.00, 0.38), (0.75, 0.75), (0.38, 0.50), and (0.50, 0.75). All coordinates are approximate. B. A scatterplot has a horizontal x-axis labeled from negative 1 to 1 in increments of 0.25 and a vertical y-axis labeled from negative 1 to 1 in increments of 0.25. The following points are plotted: (negative 0.5, 0.25), (0, 0.50), (negative 0.13, negative 0.13), (negative 0.25, 0.38), (negative 0.38, 0.00), (negative 0.75, 0.75), (negative 0.5, 0.38), and (negative 0.75, 0.50). All coordinates are approximate. C. A scatterplot has a horizontal x-axis labeled from negative 1 to 1 in increments of 0.25 and a vertical y-axis labeled from negative 1 to 1 in increments of 0.25. The following points are plotted: (0.50, 0.25), (0.00, 0.50), (0.13, negative 0.13), (0.25, 0.38), (0.38, 0.00), (0.75, 0.75), (0.50, 0.38), and (0.75, 0.50). All coordinates are approximate. D. A scatterplot has a horizontal x-axis labeled from negative 1 to 1 in increments of 0.25 and a vertical y-axis labeled from negative 1 to 1 in increments of 0.25. The following points are plotted: (0.50, negative 0.25), (0.00, negative 0.5), (0.13, 0.13), (0.25, negative 0.38), (0.38, 0), (0.75, negative 0.75), (0.50, negative 0.38), and (0.75, negative 0.5).

Answer 1

Solution :-

Given data :

x	0.51	0.02	0.14	0.29	0.34	0.8	0.47	0.71
y	0.31	0.46	-0.12	0.34	-0.05	0.8	0.35	0.47

Here, from the given table, By observing we can say that there exist only two data points with negative y-value and positive x-value, the data points are

x	0.14	0.34
y	-0.12	-0.05

so that these data points should lie in the fourth quadrant (+x, -y) on scatter plot.Now by observing the given options we can say that the scatter plot for the given data is option-c.in fourth quadrant there are only two data points in option-c.

Therefore the option-C is correct answer.
