Mr. Miller conducted a statistical experiment to determine the relationship between final grades and the number of school days that his students missed. In this study, he assigned the number of missed school days as the independent variable, and the final grade was assigned as the dependent variable. Every student started the class with a , and based on class assignments, tests scores, etc. the students' final grade was determined. Mr. Miller found that for every one day missed, the students' grade dropped by
. Based on this data, select the equation of the best fit line for this scenario.

A teacher at a high school conducted a survey of seniors and found that students owned a laptop and
of those students also had a car. There were
students that did not have a laptop, but owned a car. Last, they found that
students did not own a laptop nor a car. Given this information, how many students do not have a car?

This scatter plot represents data about snack quality (-axis) vs. price (
-axis). Which statements are a correct interpretation of the data?
I. The price of a higher quality snack tends to be higher.
II. Points below the line represent snacks whose price is higher than their quality.
III. Points above the line represent snacks whose quality is higher than their price.
Which of the following represents a positive association in a scatterplot?
A scatterplot correlates adult males' height vs. shoe size. What does the point on the scatterplot represent?
The scatter plot provided displays a group of students' test scores versus the number of missing assignments the students have. Based on plot, select the answer choice with the data point that if added to the graph, would be an outlier.
