Answer:
The plot shows a positive linear association. Price is the explanatory variable.
*See attachment for the scatterplot of the data
Step-by-step explanation:
The rate of deforestation is dependent on the price of coffee. Therefore, the explanatory variable is the price of coffee, which affects rate of deforestation.
The response variable is the rate of deforestation. The rate of deforestation is influenced by the price of coffee.
When plotting a scatter plot, the values for the explanatory variable are plotted on the x-axis, while the response variables are plotted on the y-axis.
The data given below is what we would use in plotting the scatterplot shown in the attachment:
Explanatory variable, X, (Price, cents per pound) => Response variable, Y, (deforestation, %)
25 => 0.31
49 = > 1.69
60 => 1.66
55 => 1.7
68 => 3.31
The scatterplot graphed as shown in the attachment shows a positive linear relationship between price of coffee and rate of deforestation. As price increases, rate of deforestation also increases.
