Answer with explanation:

The table that shows children's ages and number of serving of vegetables the children ate each week is given by:

Age                            Serving of vegetables

15                                         6

7                                         32

8                                         32

9                                         30

11                                          20

3                                          16  

4                                          22

5                                          26

6                                          29

10                                          27

10                                          24

12                                           17  

13                                           10

The scatter plot is attached to the answer.

Clearly by looking at the scatter plot we see that we get a linear scatter plot also, the correlation is negative, since, we get a trend line with a negative slope.
