Scatterplots look for patterns in data within a single group. Experiments look for whether different groups of people have different outcomes. How many people do you think need to be included in either research design before we can be confident that the pattern would probably also apply to other people we haven't tested? If we chart the study hours and GPAs of five students at your school, do you think it would be representative of every student? What about 20 students or 100? How do we explain people who don't fit into the "typical" pattern?
What will be an ideal response?
