uppose Laura, a facilities manager at a health and wellness company, wants to estimate the difference in the average amount of time that men and women spend at the company's fitness centers each week.
Laura randomly selects 13 adult male fitness center members from the membership database and then selects 13 adult female members from the database. Laura gathers data from the past month containing logged time at the fitness center for these members. She plans to use the data to estimate the difference in the time men and women spend per week at the fitness center. The sample statistics are summarized in the table.

Describe about the three positive relationships of Scatterplots?
The data represent the cost, return on investment, and graduation rate for a random sample of fifty colleges or universities in the United States. The data is from payscale.com. The variable "Cost" represents the four-year cost including tuition, supplies, room and board of attending the school. The variable "Annual ROI" represents the return on investment for graduates of the school. It essentially represents how much you would earn on the
investment of attending the school. The variable "Grad Rate" represents the graduation rate of the school. Complete parts (a) and (b) below.
