A scatterplot would be the best choice for showing the relationship between the number of customers and the total volume of sales, as it allows for a visual representation of the correlation between the two variables. Additionally, with a sample size of 52 weekends, a scatterplot would not be too cluttered and would allow for patterns to be more easily observed.
