Scatter Plots, Qualitative Graphs, & Two-Way Tables Review

Front

What is a scatter plot?

Back

A scatter plot is a graph that shows the relationship between two quantitative variables by displaying data points on a two-dimensional grid.

Front

What does a line of best fit represent in a scatter plot?

Back

A line of best fit is a straight line that best represents the data on a scatter plot, indicating the trend of the data points.

Front

What is a qualitative graph?

Back

A qualitative graph displays non-numerical data, often showing categories or characteristics rather than quantities.

Front

What is a two-way table?

Back

A two-way table is a data display that organizes two categorical variables, showing the frequency of occurrences for each combination of categories.

Front

How can you determine the steepness of a line on a graph?

Back

The steepness of a line is determined by its slope; a steeper line indicates a greater rate of change.

Front

What does it mean when a graph shows a horizontal line?

Back

A horizontal line on a graph indicates that there is no change in the dependent variable as the independent variable changes.

Front

What does a steep slope indicate in a distance-time graph?

Back

A steep slope in a distance-time graph indicates a high speed or rate of movement.

Front

How can you interpret sections of a graph?

Back

Sections of a graph can be interpreted by analyzing the slope and direction of the line, indicating different behaviors or actions.

Front

What does it mean if the distance from a starting point is decreasing on a graph?

Back

If the distance from a starting point is decreasing, it means the subject is moving closer to the starting point.

Front

What is the significance of the y-intercept in a linear equation?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis, representing the value of the dependent variable when the independent variable is zero.
