Scatter Plot And Correlation Exam! Quiz - Quiz

There are different ways in which people use to display data for presentation purposes. Using a scatter plot is the best method when it comes to showing the correlation between different subjects. This quiz is for students in my Intermediate Algebra class to take after they've read the website. Give it a try and get to see just how much you know.
