Scatter Plots Practice

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 type of correlation does this graph have?

• positive

• negative

• none

• all of the above

Which relationship could be represented by this scatter plot?

• As the number of muffins in a box increases, the price increases.

• As the speed of a car increases, the distance the car travels increases.

• As the population of a city increases, the number of schools in the

  city increases.

• As the number of daylight hours increases, the number of night hours decreases.

What type of correlation does this graph have?

• Negative

• no association

• positive

What type of correlation does this scatter plot show?

• positive linear association
• negative linear association
• no association
• nonlinear association

If a scatterplot has no association 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 the age of the tree that is 8 feet tall?

• 6 Years

• 7 Years

• 8 Years

• 9 Years

Which of the following best describes a scatter plot that shows no relationship between the x-values and the y-values?

• As x-values increase, the points are higher on the graph.

• As x-values decrease, the points are higher on the graph.

• The points are scattered around the graph.

• The points form a horizontal line.

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
