2-124.
Troy is a fan of baseball, and his favorite player is Moe Jauer of the Minnesota Triplets. Troy made a table displaying how many home runs Jauer hit during his first five seasons. Graph Troy’s data.
Season | Home Runs |
Season, row 1 | Home Runs, row 1 |
Season, row 2 | Home Runs, row 2 |
Season, row 3 | Home Runs, row 3 |
Season, row 4 | Home Runs, row 4 |
Season, row 5 | Home Runs, row 5 |
Think about your axes. What scaling would be appropriate?
Since 'season' is a unit of time, it should probably be on the x-axis.
Do not connect the points. Since 'Season 1.5' or '9.2 home runs' are not possible, the data should be plotted as a scatterplot.
