UNIT 5 Scatter Plots

The scatter plot shows the relationship between the number of chapters and the total number of pages for several books.  Use the trend line to predict how many chapters would be in a book with 180 pages. 

• 12 chapters
• 15 chapters
• 18 chapters
• 21 chapters

What type of correlation (association)?
The outside temperature and the amount of layers you wear. 

• Positive correlation
• Negative correlation
• No correlation
• All of the above

The number of siblings you have and your weight. 

• Positive correlation
• Negative correlation
• No correlation
• All of the above

As x increases, y increases

• correlation coefficient
• causation
• positive correlation
• negative correlation

Which scatter plot shows a linear relationship between x and y?

• Graph A
• Graph B
• Graph C
• Graph D

As the age of the car increases, its value decreases. Which scatterplot represents this relationship?

• A
• B
• C
• D

If a scatterplot has no correlation then...

• ...it has no ordered pairs
• ...it has ordered pairs that have a negative pattern
• ...its ordered pairs have no predictable pattern
• ...if it makes a lion on a graph (roar!)

What is a scatter plot?

• A graph that shows the relationship of two data sets.
• A graph drawn using rectangular bars to show how large each value is.
• A graph that shows information that is connected in some way.
• A graph that shows data changing over time.

What is a line of best fit used for?

• To make predictions
• To make the graph look pretty
• To connect the points

What type of association (correlation) does this graph have?

• positive 
• negative
• none
• all of the above
