Exploring Scatter Plots with Explain Everything

What is a scatter plot used to show?

• The sum of two datasets

• The difference between two variables

• The relationship between two sets of data

• The division of data into categories

What does a positive correlation in a scatter plot indicate?

• As one variable decreases, the other increases

• As one variable increases, the other decreases

• There is no relationship between the variables

• As one variable increases, so does the other

What is an example of a negative correlation?

• More time on Twitter leading to lower test scores

• More study time leading to higher test scores

• Shoe size and IQ score

• Age and number of siblings

What does 'no correlation' mean in scatter plots?

• One variable increases as the other decreases

• There is no discernible pattern between the datasets

• Data points are close to each other

• The data points form a straight line

What is another term for correlation in scatter plots?

• Divergence

• Convergence

• Association

• Disparity

How can you describe the direction of a scatter plot?

• By the size of the data points

• Whether the data points trend upwards or downwards

• By the shape of the data points

• By the color of the data points

What does a strong association in a scatter plot indicate?

• Data points form a circular pattern

• There is no line of best fit

• Data points closely follow the line of best fit

• Data points are widely spread from the line of best fit

What does a 'nonlinear' form in a scatter plot mean?

• The data points form a straight line

• The data points form a curved pattern

• The data points are randomly placed

• There is no pattern in the data points

What is an outlier in the context of scatter plots?

• A data point that does not fit the general pattern

• A data point that fits well within the pattern

• The lowest data point in the plot

• The highest data point in the plot

What signifies a cluster in a scatter plot?

• A single data point separated from others

• A large gap between data points

• A group of data points closely packed together

• Data points that form a straight line
