Multiple Choice
1. The daily attendance at a bowling alley was recorded for 15 days. The scatterplot shows the number of lanes rented each day and the number of people who bowled that day. Which statement is best supported by the scatterplot?
UNIT 3 QUIZ PART 1 - 86% CORRECT
There is a non-linear association between the number of lanes rented and the number of people who bowl.
There is a negative linear association between the number of lanes rented and the number of people who bowl.
There is no apparent association between the number of lanes rented and the number of people who bowl.
There is a positive linear association between the number of lanes rented and the number of people who bowl.

Multiple Choice
3. The scatterplot shows the energy used in watts and the light output in lumens per watt of several light-bulbs. Which statement best describes the association between the energy and light output of these light-bulbs?
UNIT 3 QUIZ PART 1 - 71% CORRECT
As the energy increases, the light output increases.
As the energy increases, the light output decreases.
As the energy increases, the light output remains the same.
There is no apparent association between the energy and light output.
