## Educational Resource: Analyzing Floor Space and Weekly Sales ### Data Table: The table below shows the relationship between store floor space (in square feet) and weekly sales (in dollars): | Floor Space (sq. ft.) | Weekly Sales (dollars) | |-----------------------|------------------------| | 5,060 | 16,380 | | 5,230 | 14,400 | | 4,280 | 13,820 | | 3,580 | 18,320 | | 5,670 | 14,200 | | 4,500 | 12,390 | | 5,410 | 15,846 | | 4,296 | 11,810 | | 4,220 | 13,610 | | 4,320 | 10,650 | | 4,878 | 15,320 | | 5,470 | 13,270 | [Click here for the Excel Data File] ### Scatter Plots: Using the table above, select the most appropriate scatter plot from the given choices: #### Scatter Plot A: - **Title:** Floor Space and Weekly Sales - **Horizontal Axis:** Floor Space (ranging from 1,000 to 7,000 sq. ft.) - **Vertical Axis:** Weekly Sales (ranging from $0 to $20,000) - **Data Points:** Display a slight positive trend between floor space and weekly sales, indicating that larger floor spaces tend to have higher weekly sales. #### Scatter Plot B: - **Title:** Floor Space and Weekly Sales - **Horizontal Axis:** Floor Space (ranging from 1,000 to 7,000 sq. ft.) - **Vertical Axis:** Weekly Sales (ranging from $0 to $20,000) - **Data Points:** Show a more scattered and random distribution, suggesting no clear correlation between floor space and weekly sales. ### Instruction: Based on the data table, evaluate which scatter plot (A or B) best represents the relationship between floor space and weekly sales. Consider the trend and distribution of the data points when making your selection. The image shows two graphs titled "Floor Space and Weekly Sales." Each graph plots data points with "Floor Space" on the x-axis and "Weekly Sales" on the y-axis. The first graph shows floor space values from 1,000 to 7,000 square feet, with corresponding weekly sales between $4,000 and $20,000. Data points are distributed across the graph, indicating a potential trend between these two variables. The second graph also charts floor space versus weekly sales over the same range but may include different data distributions, allowing comparisons or showing trends within a similar dataset. Below these graphs, there's instructional text: "Select more than one answer. Click the box with a check mark for the correct answer."
