to describe the relationship between selling price and age of buyer. what graph will i use?

thanks for the answer ashley, the scatter plot workes fine. I can see a strong linear relationship
describe selling prices of foreign cars and the selling prices of domestic cars. I will be using a bar chart. is that right?
and

what would i use for this one

Use the appropriate graphical techniques, along with the appropriate descriptive statistics, to describe the
relationship between selling price and age of buyer
i. of domestic cars and
ii. of foreign cars

I think a scatterplot is your best bet. Set up your graph with the data with the greatest range along the horizontal axis. For example, if there are few selling prices and the ages of buyers vary a lot, I would put the selling prices on the horizontal axis and the ages on the vertical axis. Then plot the points for the data you have.

If the points generally go up as you read across the graph from left to right, there is a positive relation between selling price and age. That means, as the selling price increases, the age increases. If the points generally go down, there’s a negative relationship between selling price and age. That means that as the selling price increases, the age decreases.

If there’s no general pattern at all in your points, then there’s no relationship between selling price and age.

Good luck! I’m curious how this will turn out. Let me know what you discover.

    i would probably go with bar graph if there are only a few people and line graph if there are more than ten
