Question
The scatter plot shows the number of person-to-person e-mail messages sent each year. Make a conjecture that could be true.
- The number of emails sent each year from 1996 to 1998 is the greatest.
- The number of emails sent from year 2000 to 2001 are the highest.
- The number of emails sent each year from 1997 to 2003 is greater than the last year.
- The number of emails sent in 1999 are the least.
Hint:
From the given plot we can clearly infer that
Conjecture: The number of email messages sent each year from 1997 to 2003 is greater than the last year.
The correct answer is: The number of emails sent each year from 1997 to 2003 is greater than the last year.
In the question we were given with plot and for different years no of emails sent has been given in the plot.
We observed the given plot clearly and found the suitable conjecture from the given options.
