A researcher is interested in investigating the relationship between viewing time (in seconds) and ratings of aesthetic appreciation. Participants are asked to view a painting for as long as they like. Time (in seconds) is measured. After the viewing time, the researcher asks the participants to provide a ‘preference rating’ for the painting on a scale ranging from 1-10. Create a scatter plot depicting the following data:
| Viewing Time in Seconds | Preference Rating |
| 10 | 3 |
| 12 | 4 |
| 24 | 7 |
| 5 | 3 |
| 16 | 6 |
| 3 | 4 |
| 11 | 4 |
| 5 | 2 |
| 21 | 8 |
| 23 | 9 |
| 9 | 5 |
| 3 | 3 |
| 17 | 5 |
| 14 | 6 |
What does the scatter plot suggest about the relationship between viewing time and aesthetic preference?
The scatter plot suggests that there is a positive relationship between viewing time and aesthetic preference as the data goes upward when looking at it from left to right. Those that viewed the painting for a longer period of time seemed to have a greater preference rating.
Is it accurate to state that longer viewing times are the result of greater preference for paintings? Explain.
