Dr. Wong has a table of data in her veterinary office that shows the average lifespans and weights of several popular dog breeds. Alfonso made a scatterplot of these data for a math project. Answer the questions to make predictions about the lifespan of a specific breed of dog.

1. Describe the association shown by this scatterplot.

2. Alfonso is thinking of getting a bloodhound. Bloodhounds usually weigh about 90 pounds. Based on the data, estimate for the lifespan of a bloodhound. Explain how you made your estimate.

3. Alfonso's friend Dani tells Alfonso that her bloodhound, Ol' Sniffy, lived to be 14.
Based on what you know, do you think this was because:

1. Alfonso didn't use a good estimation method,
2. Dani doesn't remember Ol' Sniffy's age correctly, or,
3. Ol' Sniffy lived an unusually long time?

Justify your answer.

1. The heavier the dogs are, the shorter lifespan they have.

2. The lifespan of a bloodhound is on average 10 years long

3. Number 2

Step-by-step explanation:

#1 explination: Since its obvious that the graph angles downwards as it goes towards the left, and because as you go to the left you get heavier dogs, put 2 and 2 together and you get my answer.

#2 explination: We see 3 dots around 90 pounds, one that lives 11 years, and 2 that live 10 years. Since we need to be accurate, we need to find the average of 10, 11, and 10. (10+10+11)/3=10.33. Now we round to 10, so 10 is our answer.

#3 explination: Since there is a bloodhound that lives to be 14, we have two answers, 2 or 3. 1 doesn't work since if Alfonso doesn't have good estimation, the first two questions wouldn't matter *the more you know*. Since we see no unusual pattern between any of the three dots I mentioned earlier, Dani must of forgotten her dog's age (probably because of that dog years thing.)
