1. The following table shows the number of hours five car salespeople worked and the number of cars they sold. Using Excel, plot each point on the same graph where the first coordinate is the number of hours and the second coordinate is the number of cars sold (hours, cars). After plotting each point, explain if there is a linear relationship between the number of hours worked and the number of cars sold.
