Introduction to Scatter Plot

When looking at a scatter plot, there are three types of association:

• linear, nonlinear, no

• positive, negative, no

• linear, circular, no

• up, down, no

When points in the scatter plot appear to form two or more distinct clouds of points, it's called...

• clusters

• bunches

• groups

• cliques

When the scatter plot shows an increase in the outputs as the inputs are increasing

• positive correlation

• negative correlation

• no correlation

What type of association or correlation does the scatter plot represent?

• positive

• negative

• no

What relationship is shown in the scatter plot?

• As the cost goes down, the number sold goes down.

• As the cost goes up, the number sold goes down.

• As the cost goes down, the number sold remains the same.

• There is not relationship between cost and the number sold.

Which sentence describes the relationship shown on this scatter plot?

• As the temperature decreases, the visitors increase. 

• As the temperature increases, the number of visitors increases. 

• As the visitors increase, the temperature decreases. 

• No correlation

What pattern do you see in the data?

• positive correlation

• negative correlation

• no correlation

What kind of relationship does this scatter plot represent?

• positive, linear

• negative, linear

• negative, nonlinear

• no relationship

Describe the relationship represented in the scatter plot.

• As shoe size increases, reading score increases.

• As shoe size increases, reading score decreases.

• As shoe size increases, there is no change in reading score.

• This scatter plot doesn't show a relationship,

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!)
