Scatter Plot Association

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 axis.

Front

What does a positive association in a scatter plot indicate?

Back

A positive association indicates that as one variable increases, the other variable also tends to increase.

Front

What does a negative association in a scatter plot indicate?

Back

A negative association indicates that as one variable increases, the other variable tends to decrease.

Front

What is meant by 'no association' in a scatter plot?

Back

No association means that there is no predictable relationship between the two variables; changes in one variable do not affect the other.

Front

What is a strong association in a scatter plot?

Back

A strong association means that the data points are closely clustered around a line, indicating a clear relationship between the variables.

Front

What is a weak association in a scatter plot?

Back

A weak association means that the data points are more spread out and do not closely follow a line, indicating a less clear relationship.

Front

What is a linear relationship in a scatter plot?

Back

A linear relationship is when the data points can be approximated by a straight line, indicating a consistent rate of change between the variables.

Front

What is a non-linear relationship in a scatter plot?

Back

A non-linear relationship is when the data points do not follow a straight line, indicating that the relationship between the variables changes at different values.

Front

How can you identify a strong positive linear association in a scatter plot?

Back

A strong positive linear association is identified by data points that closely follow an upward-sloping straight line.

Front

How can you identify a strong negative linear association in a scatter plot?

Back

A strong negative linear association is identified by data points that closely follow a downward-sloping straight line.
