question 12

Multiple Choice

Is the magnitude of an earthquake related to the depth below the surface at which the quake occurs? Let x be the magnitude of an earthquake (on the Richter scale) , and let y be the depth (in kilometers) of the quake below the surface at the epicenter. Suppose a random sample of earthquakes gave the following information. $$\begin{array} { c | c c c c c } \hline x & 2.5 & 4 & 3.4 & 4.4 & 2.4 \\\hline y & 5.2 & 10.3 & 10.8 & 10.3 & 8.3 \\\hline\end{array}$$ Make a scatter diagram for the data.
