Answer 1

Construct a scatter plot diagram for the variables SAT Verbal and SAT Math and then using your scatterplot do the variables appear to be positively, negatively or not related at all?

We can construct scatter plot in excel.

steps :

ENTER data into excel sheet --> Insert --> Scatter --> Select first option --> ok

We can see that all the points are along increasing order and in positive direction so there is positive relationship between mean SAT verbal and mean SAT math.
