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

Which of the following could be a possible line of best fit for the data?

• y = -5/2x + 20

• y = -x + 19

• y = x + 20

• y = 2/3x + 15 

Find the equation of the line of best fit for the given data

• y=163.41x + 4.19

• y=-163.41x + 4.19

• y=-4.19x + 163.41

• y= 4.19x - 163.41
  

What is a trend line that shows the most accurate relationship between x and y and is is very close to most of the data points?

• linear regression

• no correlation

• trend line

• line of best fit

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

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.
