Question 35 – Data handling and analysis - Questions

Using the data in Table 2, draw an appropriate scattergram. Fully label your display.

Table 2: Total 24-hour rainfall and peak stream turbidity recorded during ten independent storm events (labelled P – Y).

In order to analyse the relationship between precipitation intensity and water quality, an environmental scientist recorded the total rainfall and the peak stream turbidity in a forest catchment area for ten distinct storm events.

	P	Q	R	S	T	U	V	W	X	Y
Total rainfall ( $mm$ )	5	10	15	20	25	30	35	40	45	50
Peak stream turbidity (NTU)	12	18	22	35	41	54	62	78	85	96
