Puzzle Time
1. The problem asks us to interpret the scatter plot showing the relationship between the number of pieces in a jigsaw puzzle and the recommended completion time in minutes.
2. From the scatter plot, the x-axis represents the number of pieces, ranging from 200 to 1000, and the y-axis represents the time in minutes, ranging from 100 to 400.
3. The data points are approximately (200, 100), (300, 120), (600, 200), (800, 300), and (1000, 400).
4. Observing the points, as the number of pieces increases, the time to complete the puzzle also increases.
5. This indicates a positive correlation between the number of pieces and the completion time.
6. In simple terms, puzzles with more pieces generally require more time to complete.
7. This relationship can be useful for estimating how long a puzzle might take based on its size.
