The accompanying data give y = survival rate (percent) and x = mean call-to-shock time (minutes) for a cardiac rehabilitation center (in which cardiac arrests occurred while victims were hospitalized and so the call-to-shock time tended to be short) and for four communities of different sizes.
Mean call-to-shock time, x 2 6 7 9 12
Survival rate, y 91 46 31 6 3
 
(a)
Construct a scatterplot for these data.
A scatterplot has 5 points.
  • The horizontal axis is labeled "x" and has values from 0 to 100.
  • The vertical axis is labeled "y" and has values from 0 to 13.
  • 1 point is plotted at approximately (2.5, 2).
  • 4 points are plotted in an almost straight line from approximately (5, 6) up and right to approximately (90, 12).
