A scatterplot is produced to compare the size of a lake to the number of fish that are in it. There are 15 data points, each representing a different lake. The points are widely dispersed on the scatterplot with no pattern of grouping. Interpret what the results of the scatterplot tell you about the relationship between the two variables.
There is no direct relationship between the size of a lake and number of fish in it. There are other factors than size which determine how many fish may be present in the lake.
Answer:Since there is no cluster formed in the scatterplot, the two variables are not related. Therefore, based on the data shown in the scatterplot, the number of fish in a lake is not dependent on the size of the lake.
