Q. Grade 8 Pre-AlgebraMA.8.DP.1.1 PracticeName: Date: +15/241. The table below shows the number of people and the cost for admission into various fairs throughout the state of Florida.Fair Admission Prices throughout Florida\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}\hline Number of People & Admission Cost \\\hline 2 & $30 \\\hline 3 & $45 \\\hline 3 & $42 \\\hline 4 & $80 \\\hline 5 & $160 \\\hline 6 & $90 \\\hline\end{tabular}Select the type of graph and explanation that is appropriate for the fair admissions data throughout the state of Florida.(1) line graphA(B) scatter plot is appropriate because it showsC) how the prices increase as the number of people attending increases.(6) the data points illustrate a pattern.() the data is continuous.
Look at the data: Look at the data in the table, we see that the number of people and the cost are paired up, but they don't form a clear pattern or a straight line.
Choose scatter plot: Since the data is not continuous and doesn't show a steady rate of change, a line graph (which is best for showing trends over time) isn't the best choice here.
Reason for scatter plot: A scatter plot is better because it can show how each individual fair's cost relates to the number of people without implying a constant rate of change.
Data points analysis: The data points in the table don't really show that prices increase as the number of people attending increases, because for 3 people the cost is $45 at one fair and $42 at another, and for 5 people the cost is much higher at $160, which doesn't fit the pattern.
Correct answer: So, the correct answer is (B) scatter plot because it shows the relationship between two variables without implying a direct, consistent trend.
