Practice Question

Daniel is planning to buy his first house. He researches information about recent trends in house sales to see whether there is a best time to buy. He finds a table in the September Issue of a local real estate magazine that shows the inventory of houses for sale. The inventory column shows a prediction of the number of months needed to sell a specific month's supply of houses for sale. The table also shows the median sales price for houses each month.
Daniel wants to create a scatter plot of the data in the table to determine whether inventory affects median sales price. Which scatter plot will help Daniel make his determination?

  • A: M-12A.png
  • B: M-12B.png
  • C: M-12C.png
  • D: M-12D.png

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Without the table or scatter plot options, the correct scatter plot would plot inventory (x-axis) against median sales price (y-axis) to show correlation. Since no specific options are provided, the answer depends on visual inspection, but typically, a plot with inventory as the independent variable is chosen.
