Question:
The Current Results website lists the average annual high and low temperatures (degrees Fahrenheit) and average annual snowfall (inches) for fifty-one major U.S. cities, based on data from 1981 to 2010. The data are contained in the file Snow. For example, the average low temperature for Columbus, Ohio is 44 degrees and the average annual snowfall is 27.5 inches.
a. Construct a scatter diagram with the average annual low temperature on the horizontal axis and the average annual snowfall on the vertical axis.
b. Does there appear to be any relationship between these two variables?
c. Based on the scatter diagram, comment on any data points that seem to be unusual.
