Scatterplot Linear Nonlinear

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.

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!)

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

JoBeth draws a scatter plot that shows as the outside temperature increases, sales at her lemonade stand increase. Which best describes the scatter plot?

• The points show that as x-values increase, y-values increase.

• The points show that as x-values increase, y-values decrease.

• The points show that as x-values decrease, y-values stay the same.

• The points show that as x-values decrease, y-values increase.

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.

What type of association does this scatter plot represent?

• positive linear association

• negative association
