The table lists the results from a survey (of questionable accuracy) of adults and how much they spend on a night out. The table displays the values rounded to the nearest whole number. Make a scatter plot. How would you describe the correlation between a person’s age and how much he or she spends on a night out? Does anyone know how to do this???

The correct answer is:
The correct scatter plot is attached.
There appears to be a negative correlation between a person's age and the amount they spend on a night out.
Explanation :
Age will be the independent variable, along the x-axis, and the cost of a night out will be the dependent variable, along the y-axis.
The ages range from a low of 20 to a high of 45. We will start our graph at 0 and use a scale of 5s along the x-axis, going to 45.
The amounts for a night out range from a low of 38 to a high of 58. We will start our graph at 0 and use a scale of 5s along the x-axis, going to 60.
We then plot each point as a coordinate of (age, amount spent).
Once we get the graph plotted, we see there is a negative trend in the data. As the age increases, the amount spent out decreases.

To determine the correlation between age and spending on a night out, create a scatter plot with age on the x-axis and spending on the y-axis. The type of correlation is determined by the trend of the data points. Without specific data, we can't accurately determine the correlation. ;

To create a scatter plot to analyze the correlation between age and spending, plot ages on the x-axis and spending amounts on the y-axis. Observe the trend of the points to determine if there is a positive, negative, or no correlation between the two variables. This analysis helps understand how age relates to spending behaviors without implying one causes the other.
