A research survey of about 13,900 incoming freshmen in American universities and colleges found that the amount of time a student spends drinking alcohol is a strong predictor of that student's GPA, with a negative association between the two. In making a scatterplot of the data, we should (a) plot GPA on the horizontal axis. (b) plot time spent drinking alcohol on the horizontal axis. (c) first determine if there are outliers in the data.
