Question

The scatter plot shows the relationship between the number of hours spent practicing piano per week and the number of pieces of music the student can play:

A scatter plot is shown. The x-axis is labeled hours spent practicing and the y-axis is labeled number of pieces student can play. Data points are located at 1 and 1, 1 and 5, 2 and 10, 2 and 15, 3 and 15, 3 and 25, 4 and 40, 5 and 40, 5 and 50, 6 and 55, 6 and 70, 8 and 90, 3 and 70. A circle labeled T includes all points except for 3 and 70. Point 3 and 70 is circled and labeled as R.
Part A: What is the group of points labeled T called? What is the point labeled R called? Give a possible reason for the presence of point R. (3 points)
Part B: Describe the association between the number of hours practiced each week and the number of pieces a piano student can play. (2 points)

Part A: The group of points labeled T is called a cluster. The point labeled R is an outlier. Point R may represent a student with exceptional talent or different learning method.

Part B: The association shows a positive linear relationship between hours practiced and pieces played, indicating that more practice leads to being able to play more pieces.
