23) Jamie is preparing to take his SAT tests. The table above shows how Jamie's score
depends on the number of hours a week Jamie studies
a. Plot the relationship in the igure, putting the hours studied on the horizontal axis.
b. Is the relationship you plotted positive or negative?
c. What happens to the slope of the relationship as hours studied increase?
d. Suppose Jamie can enroll in an SAT prep course and, by so doing, for every possible
number of hours he studies, his score will be 100 points higher. Plot the new relationship
between the number of hours studied and Jamie's SAT score in the igure.
e. How many variables are involved in the igure you just completed?
b. The relationship is positive: As Jamie increases the hours he studies, his SAT score
increases.
c. The relationship is nonlinear, so the slope of the relationship changes as the number of
hours studied changes. In the igure, the slope of the relationship decreases in size as the
number of hours studied increases.
d. The igure above also plots the relationship between the hours Jamie studies and his
SAT score if Jamie takes an SAT preparation course.
e. There are three variables: The number of hours Jamie studies, whether or not he takes
an SAT preparation course, and his SAT score.
