Question

What items are essential in a scatter plot? Select all that apply.A)the variable measured on the vertical axisB)the variable measured on the horizontal axisC)a graph of the line the connecting pointsD)the scales of vertical and horizontal axesE)a collection of coordinatesF)a label for each point

Answer 1

In order to construct a scatter plot, the essential items include;

A: The variable measured on the vertical axis. This is because the variables on both axes is the major reason why the graph is being constructed, so the variable must be identified.

B: The variable measured on the horizontal axis, for the same reason as stated above.

D: The scale of vertical and horizontal axes. This helps to read off the range of the data set without going beyond the limit
