2Example (Constructing a scatterplot)  The professor swimsProfessor Moore swims 2000 yards regularly in a vain attempt to undo middle age. Here are his times (in minutes) and his pulse rate after swimming (in beats per minute) for 23 sessions in the pool:

Time 34.12 35.72 34.72 34.05 34.13 35.72 36.17 35.57 35.37 35.57 35.43 36.05Pulse   152   124   140   152   146   128   136   144   148   144   136   124

Time 34.85 34.70 34.75 33.93 34.60 34.00 34.35 35.62 35.68 35.28 35.97Pulse   148   144   140   156   136   148   148   132   124   132   139

(a) Identify the explanatory variable and the response variable.

(b) Make a scatterplot.  Be sure to label and scale your axes.

(c) Describe what you see.
