They point in the direction of the site and dance longer for sites farther away. The rest of the bees use the duration of the dance to predict distance to the site. Table 1 shows the distance, in meters, and the duration of the dance, in minutes, for severi honeybee scouts. Duration Distance 200 250 500 0.10 0.45 0.95 1.30 2.00 3.10 1.10 950 1950 3500 1300 a) What is the explanatory variable and the response variable? b) Using complete sentence, describe the scatter plot for the two quantitative variables. 4000 3000 Distance Duration Page 1 of 2 188 words B E ES -- + 80%

Answer 1

a. Here it is given that duration of the dance is used to predict distance to the site

Hence Duration is explanatory variable and Distance is the response variable.

b. As per scatter plot, there is increasing trend which means as x increases y increase. Also if line is drawn through points, mostly all will lie on the lie.

Hence there is strong positive correlation.
