A question from this lesson

A practice record shows 6 words correct in Session 3. Where should you plot the point?

  1. At Session 3 and 3 words correct
  2. At Session 6 and 3 words correct
  3. At Session 3 and 6 words correct
Show the answer

C. At Session 3 and 6 words correct. Session 3 and 6 words correct matches the record. Reversing them swaps the session and behavior measure. Plotting 3 words correct uses the session number instead of the recorded value.
