Question

A drug company testing a pain medication wants to know the impact of different dosages on patients' pain levels. They recruited volunteers experiencing pain to try one of 666 different dosages and then rate their pain levels on a scale of 111 to 101010. Here are the results: Average pain level 6.06.06, point, 0 5.85.85, point, 8 5.25.25, point, 2 4.94.94, point, 9 3.93.93, point, 9 3.63.63, point, 6 3.53.53, point, 5 Dosage (mg) 000 505050 100100100 150150150 200200200 250250250 300300300 All of the scatter plots below display the data correctly, but which one of them displays the data best?

Answer 1

Answer:

The scatter plot for the provided data is attached below.

Step-by-step explanation:

A scatter plot is a graphical representation of the relationship between two variables. It displays how one variable affects the other variable.

The data for the average pain level, on the scale of 1 to 10, and the amount of dosages of pain medication provided to the volunteers is as follows:

Average pain level    Dosage (mg)

          6.0                             0

          5.8                           50

          5.2                          100

          4.9                          150

          3.9                         200

          3.6                         250

          3.5                         300
