Quick comprehension check
“A scatter plot shows the relationship between the number of hours spent exercising each week and a person's resting heart rate. If the points generally trend downwards from left to right, what can you conclude about the relationship between exercise and resting heart rate? A scatter plot shows the relationship between the size of a house (in square feet) and its selling price.
