Answer to Problem 1SE

The number of acres of land has a stronger relationship with the value of the land.

Explanation of Solution

From the scatterplot of (A), one can see that the points are very close to each other and the points are less scattered in the vertical direction. There is a strong relationship between the number of acres and the value of land (thousands of dollars).

On the other hand, in the scatterplot of (B), the points are widely scattered in the vertical direction.

Therefore, the number of acres of land has a strong relationship with the value of land.
