Chapter 3.1, Problem 6E

To determine

To make: a scatterplot which shows the number of new adults relates to the percent of returning birds.

Answer to Problem 6E

  

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Percent return:	New adults:
$74$	$5$
$66$	$6$
$81$	$8$
$52$	$11$
$73$	$12$
$62$	$15$
$52$	$16$
$45$	$17$
$62$	$18$
$46$	$18$
$60$	$19$
$46$	$20$
$38$	$20$

Calculation:

Take percent return (the explanatory variable) on the horizontal axis and new adults (the response variable) on the vertical axis. Figure $6.1$ is our completed scatterplot.

  

From the scatter plot, it is conclude that there is negative correlation exists between the number of new adults and the percent of returning birds.

Conclusion:

Therefore, the required scatterplot is drawn.
