Allison French · Answer 1

Scatter plot

Step-by-step explanation:

Using a scatter plot will allow the sales manager to show the data collected about the number of customers who enter the store and the dollar volume of sales for each day because the plot will have a dot to represent each day. The analyze of the pattern formed by the dots will show if there is a relation between the variables and what kind of relation is (systematic or causal). She can also add a regression line to find an explanation for the relation between the variables.
