If a scatter plot shows points that are closely clustered together, what can you infer about the correlation between the variables?

Select the correct answer. A local grocery store decides to offer a free piece of fresh fruit (banana or apple) to all shoppers in the produce department. The store is conducting an observational study to determine which type of fruit is selected more often. At the end of the first day, the store found that twice as many shoppers select an apple. The grocery store then repeats the observational study for 14 days. All studies yield similar results. What generalization can be made from the results of this study? A. Given the choice of any type of fruit, twice as many shoppers will select an apple. C. Given the choice of a banana or an apple, twice as many shoppers will select an apple. D. The results are inconclusive; therefore, a generalization cannot be made regarding which type of fruit is preferred by most shoppers.

What is a scatter plot?

Example. The data of samples from 2 populations were collected and recorded below for \( \dot{x}-t_{1}{ }^{2}{ }_{x_{1}} \), and \( x_{2} \) \[ \begin{array}{l} n_{1}=50, \quad \bar{x}_{1}=\left[\begin{array}{l} 8.3 \\ 4 \cdot 1 \end{array}\right], \quad s_{1}=\left[\begin{array}{ll} 2 & 1 \\ 1 & 6 \end{array}\right] \\ n_{2}=50, \bar{x}_{2}=\left[\begin{array}{l} 10.2 \\ 3.9 \end{array}\right], \quad s_{2}\left[\begin{array}{ll} 2 & 1 \\ 1 & 4 \end{array}\right] . \end{array} \]

To determine which window cleaner is most effective, Thad washes half of the windows in his house with one brand and the other half with a different brand. He then compares the results to draw a conclusion about which cleaner is most effective. What kind of statistical study did Thad conduct?
