Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Data showing various distances to the hole (in feet) and the percent of putts made at each distance for a sample of golfers:
Distance (ft.) | Percent made |
2
3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 | 93.3
83.1 74.1 58.9 54.8 53.1 46.3 31.8 33.5 31.6 25.7 24.0 31.0 16.8 13.4 15.9 17.3 13.6 15.8 |
For scatterplot:
Horizontal axis: Distance (ft.)
Vertical axis: Percent made
In the scatterplot, negative association appears between the distance and the percent made due to downward slope of pattern.
That implies
The distance decreases when percent made increases.
