To create a scatter plot of "Ending Temperature vs. Starting Temperature" using the data from the table, follow these steps:
### Step 1: Organize the Data
First, let's list the starting and ending temperatures as given in the table:
Starting Temperatures (°F): 130, 115, 100, 85, 70, 55, 40, 25
Ending Temperatures (°F): 20, 24, 26, 30, 32, 36, 40, 42
### Step 2: Prepare the Axes
For our scatter plot:
- The x-axis will represent the Starting Temperature.
- The y-axis will represent the Ending Temperature.
### Step 3: Plot the Points
We will plot each pair of corresponding starting and ending temperatures as a point on the graph. Each point (x, y) will represent (Starting Temperature, Ending Temperature).
The points will be:
- (130, 20)
- (115, 24)
- (100, 26)
- (85, 30)
- (70, 32)
- (55, 36)
- (40, 40)
- (25, 42)
### Step 4: Create the Scatter Plot
1. Draw a horizontal axis (x-axis) and label it "Starting Temperature (°F)".
2. Draw a vertical axis (y-axis) and label it "Ending Temperature (°F)".
3. Determine the scale for both axes. You need to accommodate the range of the data. For the starting temperatures, the range is from 25°F to 130°F. For the ending temperatures, the range is from 20°F to 42°F.
4. Plot each of the points listed above on the chart.
### Sample Scatter Plot Representation
Here is a rough representation of how you might plot the points:
```
Ending Temperature (°F)
^
|
42 - | (25, 42)
|
40 - | (40, 40)
|
38 - |
|
36 - | (55, 36)
|
34 - |
|
32 - | (70, 32)
|
30 - | (85, 30)
|
28 - |
|
26 - | (100, 26)
|
24 - | (115, 24)
|
22 - |
|
20 - | (130, 20)
|
+------------------------------------------> Starting Temperature (°F)
25 40 55 70 85 100 115 130
```
### Title
Add a title to your scatter plot: "Ending Temperature vs. Starting Temperature".
### Conclusion
You should now have a scatter plot complete with points, labeled axes, and a title. This visual representation will help you see the relationship (if any) between the starting and ending temperatures.
