Question
The data in the table to the right are based on the results of a survey comparing the commute time of adults to their score on a​ well-being test. Complete parts​ (a) through​ (d) below.
 
 
Commute Time​ (in minutes)
​Well-Being Score
 
4
69.3
 
13
68.8
 
26
67.3
 
35
67.2
 
52
66.4
 
75
65.4
 
105
63.4
 
​(a) Which variable is likely the explanatory variable and which is the response​ variable?
 
 
A.
The explanatory variable is commute time and the response variable is the​ well-being score because​ well-being score affects the commute time score.
 
B.
The explanatory variable is commute time and the response variable is the​ well-being score because commute time affects the​ well-being score.
Your answer is correct.
 
C.
The explanatory variable is the​ well-being score and the response variable is commute time because​ well-being score affects the commute time.
 
D.
The explanatory variable is the​ well-being score and the response variable is commute time because commute time affects the​ well-being score.
 
​(b) Draw a scatter diagram of the data. Which of the following represents the​ data?
 
A.
 
 
 
01106070Commute Time (min)Score
