Interpreting the scatterplot, it is found that the correct option is:
Springside weakens the correlation shown in the scatterplot.
- In the scatterplot, the mean test score is plotted as function of the mean class-size.
- From this, we can verify that as the mean class size increases, the mean score decreases, that is, there is a negative correlation between the mean class size and the mean test score.
- However, for Springside, the mean test score is greater than most other schools with smaller class sizes, which is a different result than expected, thus, it weakens the correlation, and the correct option is:
Springside weakens the correlation shown in the scatterplot.
