A scatterplot is produced to compare the size of a lake to the number of fish that are in it. There are 15 data points, each rep
resenting a different lake. The points are widely dispersed on the scatterplot with no pattern of grouping. Interpret what the results of the scatterplot tell you about the relationship between the two variables.
A: Since there is no cluster formed in the scatterplot, the two variables
are not related. Therefore, based on the data shown in the scatterplot,
the number of fish in a lake is not dependent on the size of the lake.
Since in the scatterplot you can see both variable size of the lake and then population of fishes and they do not relate to each other, if they had a certain exponential growth or a relationship between size and population we could say that there is a cause-effect type of situation, but since they are both dispersed not mattering the size of the lake, we can fairly say that they have nothing to do wiht eachother.
