Scatter Plots Patterns of Association

The following scatter plot shows Pam's training as she prepares to run a 6 mile race at the end of the month.  Which of the following would be a reasonable approximation for the length of time it would take for her to run 6 miles? 

• 50 min

• 80 min

• 45 min

• 60 min

As x increases, y increases

• correlation coefficient

• causation

• positive correlation

• negative correlation

What is the correlation between length of running start and distance of jump?

• positive:  the further you run the further you jump

• negative: the less you run the less distance of your jump

• positive: the further your running start the less your distance

In a scatterplot, an outlier...

• ...is something we didn't learn 8th grade

• ...is a puppet with a long nose named Pinocchio

• ...is a point that is far outside the main cluster of points/ordered pairs

• ...is a really naughty point who doesn't tell the truth when outside

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 correlation?

• Negative correlation

• No correlation

• Positive correlation

• All of the above
