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)?

• 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

• 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

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!)
