Question

60. The following table shows the poverty rates and cell phone usage in the United States. Construct a scatter plot of the data

Year	Poverty Rate	Cellular Usage per Capita
2003	12.7	54.67
2005	12.6	74.19
2007	12	84.86
2009	12	90.82

Short answer

A scatter plot of the data of poverty rate is,

A scatter plot of the data of Cellular Usage Capita is,

Step-by-step solution

Given information

In $2003$, the poverty rates is $12.7$ and cell phone usage in the United States is $54.67$.

Explanation

A scatter plot is one of the methods for determining if two variables are related or not from a graph. If almost all data follows a straight line, these two variables exhibit a strong relationship. Otherwise, there is only a shaky link between them. Similarly, whether the correlation is positive or negative if the line runs from left to right upper, they are favorably correlated. They have a negative correlation if the line runs from right to left upper.

Examine the relationship between the variables Year and Poverty Rate, as well as Year and Cellular per Capita. The variables in this study are as follows: Year, Poverty Rate, and Per Capita Cellular Usage The scatter plots are shown below; these two variables have a negative, weak association, as seen in the graph of the Poverty Rate.

Explanation

From the graph, Cellular Usage per Capita, these two variables have a positive, strong correlation.
