Question 3

Liam collected data on the maximum daily temperature and the number of ice creams sold at his shop over 10 days. He plotted the data on a scatter graph.

Liam's graph shows 'Ice Creams Sold' on the y-axis and 'Temperature (∘C^{\circ}\text{C}∘C)' on the x-axis. On the y-axis, the increments are 0,20,40,80,100,1200, 20, 40, 80, 100, 1200,20,40,80,100,120. He has drawn a line of best fit that connects the first plotted point to the last plotted point.
