For $2, a customer purchases three balls and attempts to roll each ball into a central target. The customer wins their $2 back and wins an additional $1 if they hit the target once, an additional $3 if they hit the target twice and an additional $5 if they hit the target three times. If the customer does not hit the target at all, they lose their initial $2.

He encourages the managers at each store to spend as much time on the sales floor as they can. He is curious if this has any effect on the number of cars sold. Each manager reports the number of hours per day he or she spends on the sales floor. From this, Walter creates the scatterplot below showing sales and time on the floor. What information can Walter infer from the scatterplot? Select all that apply. 10 9 8 1 1 3 4 7 Average Hours on Sales Floor O There is a positive correlation between hours on the sales floor and sales.
