Part 1
​(a) Display the data in a scatter plot. Choose the correct graph below.
 
 
A.
 
 
 
-5559401140Altitude (1000's ft)Speed of sound (ft/s)

A scatter plot has a horizontal axis labeled Altitude (thousands of feet) from negative 5 to 55 in increments of 5 and a vertical axis labeled Speed of sound (feet per second) from 940 to 1140 in increments of 20. The following 11 points are plotted: (0, 1117); (5, 1097); (10, 1076); (15, 1056); (20, 1037); (25, 1016); (30, 994); (35, 969); (40, 966); (45, 966); (50, 966). From left to right, the first 8 points tightly follow the pattern of a line that falls from left to right, and the next 3 points follow the pattern of a horizontal line. All vertical coordinates are approximate.

From left to right, the first 3 points follow the pattern of a vertical line and the next 8 points tightly follow the pattern of a line that rises from left to right. All horizontal coordinates are approximate.
