Describe Scatter Plot

The points on the green circle represent:

• Linear association

• Clustering

• Outlier

• Dispersion

The point on the red circle is called:

• Clustering

• Linear association

• Outlier

• Negative association

Since the pattern on the scatter plot looks line a staight line , this association is called

• Nonlinear association

• Dispersion

• Outlier

• Linear association

Why is this a negative association?

• Because when the dependent variable increases the independent (x-axis) decreases

• Because when the independent (x-axis) increases the dependent decreases

• Because one variable is constant the other variable stays constant

• Dispersion

Why the point on the orange square is an outlier?

• Because the data is gathered together

• Because the data has no pattern

• Because it is a point distant from other data points

• Because the data points make a curve

Why the points on the blue square represent clustering?

• Because the points are gathered together

• Because the points are distant from the other data points

• Linear association

• Dispersion

Since one variable increases the other increases, we can affirm that the scatter plot follows which type of association

• Dispersion

• Outlier

• Positive association

• Clustering

This scatter plot is an example of:

• Linear association

• Nonlinear association

• Dispersion

• Outlier

This scatter plot is an example of:

• Linear association

• Nonlinear association

• Dispersion

• Outlier

The correct description of this scatter plot is:

• Two clustering, one outlier, negative association

• One clustering, two outlier, positive association

• One outlier, one clustering, positive association

• Dispersion
