Analyze Scatterplot and Line of Best Fit

Which relationship is shown by this 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 does down, the number sold

  remains the same.

• There is no relationship between cost and the

  number sold.

Rohan, Isla, and Jackson are studying the relationship between the number of hours spent studying and the test scores of their classmates. What does a negative correlation in their scatterplot indicate?

• There is no relationship between the hours spent studying and test scores.

• As the number of hours spent studying increases, the test scores also increase.

• As the number of hours spent studying increases, the test scores decrease.

• As the number of hours spent studying decreases, the test scores also decrease.

What does a correlation coefficient close to -1 indicate in a scatterplot?

• No relationship

• Strong negative linear relationship

• Weak negative linear relationship

• Strong positive linear relationship
