4. Based on the following scatter plot is there a correlation between a driver’s age and
the distance they can read a street sign? Explain your answer.
Directions: Use the following table displaying bivariate data to answer problems 5-7.

5. Rewrite the table as a table of relative

frequencies. Round relative frequencies to
the nearest whole percent.

6. What percentage of people over the age

of 65 sleep with their smartphones in
reach?

7. What do the frequencies tell you about

the club membership and math ability?

Directions: Use the following scatter plot that compares the number of classes you
missed and your exam scores to answer the following questions.

8. Your exam score is 20. Use the line

of best fit to estimate how many
classes you missed.

9. You missed 20 classes. Use the line

of best fit to estimate your exam score.

10. What does the scatter plot show about the relationship between number of classes
you missed and your exam scores?
11. Draw in and write the equation for the line of best fit for the scatter plot.

12. Thoroughly describe the correlation shown in the Books and Pens scatterplot.

13. In the table, x represents the number of years a company has been in business and y
