Question

Use the table that shows the life expectancy for people born in various years

Draw a scatter plot in which x is the number of years since $1950.$

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

The scatter plot of the data is shown below:

Step-1 – Scatter plot.

A set of data graphed as ordered pairs in a coordinate plane is called a scatter point.

Step-2 – Determine the given value.

Consider year as x coordinate and expectancy as y coordinate.

Also consider 1950 as the 0 because the life expectancy in the table starts from 1950.

 We have data of people born in various years.

$\backslash \left[\right(0,68.2)\backslash ]\backslash \left[\right(10,69.7)\backslash ]\backslash \left[\right(20,70.8)\backslash ]\backslash \left[\right(30,73.7)\backslash ]\backslash \left[\right(40,75.4)\backslash ]\backslash \left[\right(47,76.5)\backslash ]$

Step-3 – Draw the scatter plot.

The scatter plot of the data is shown below
