This video tutorial covers Chapter 3, focusing on scatter plots, trend lines, and correlation. It explains positive, negative, and no correlation, using examples like football scores and runner's name length. The video also demonstrates how to draw trend lines and make predictions, such as estimating CD sales. Key ideas include labeling axes, choosing scales, and understanding that positive and negative correlations do not imply good or bad. The tutorial concludes with a summary of these concepts.

What is the main focus of Chapter 3?

• Bar charts and histograms

• Scatter plots, trend lines, and correlation

• Pie charts and line graphs

• Box plots and whisker plots

What does a positive correlation indicate?

• There is no relationship between the variables

• The variables are inversely proportional

• As one variable increases, the other decreases

• As one variable increases, the other also increases

What does a negative correlation mean?

What should you remember about positive and negative correlations?

• Positive means good and negative means bad

• They are always inversely proportional

• They are always directly proportional

• They indicate the direction of the relationship, not the quality
