What does it mean if a scatter plot shows no relationship?

Back

It means that there is no discernible pattern or correlation between the two variables being plotted.

What is the purpose of using scatter plots in data analysis?

Back

Scatter plots help visualize relationships between variables, identify trends, and detect outliers.

How do you identify a positive correlation in a scatter plot?

Back

A positive correlation is identified when the data points slope upwards from left to right, indicating that as one variable increases, the other also increases.

Front

How do you identify a negative correlation in a scatter plot?

Back

A negative correlation is identified when the data points slope downwards from left to right, indicating that as one variable increases, the other decreases.

What is the range in a data set?

Back

The range is the difference between the highest and lowest values in a data set.
