I need help on my Math homework. Here is the problem: Dan wants to know whether there is a relationship between the number of hours he practices football each week and the percentage of passes he completes in each game. Which format is the best to use to display the data?? A. Bar Graph B. Histogram C. Scatterplot D. Circle Graph I am stuck on A and D. What do you think?? Please help me (NO RUDE COMMENTS). Thanks you so much. :]

scatterplot tells you what kind of relationship it is if there is any..

A. Bar Graph
Let the x axis (going across) mark the number of hours he practices per week
Let the y axis (going up) mark the percentage of completed passes in that week's game (that corresponds in a ordered pair to the value along the x axis)
A line graph still would be more clear.
But if your bar graph is done correctly, you should still show as one value increases so does the other value. So the bars to the right (for larger values of x) should be taller than the bars to the left (for smaller values of x).
Can you use Excel and generate a chart and then copy it for your assignment?

A, because D can only show one variable, but you need to show two. C could also work but, D is better.
