Chapter 4 Section 5 Scatter plots & Trend Lines
Scatter plot • Is a graph with points plotted to show a possible relationship between two sets of data. • A scatter plot is an effective way to display some types of data.
Graphing a Scatter plot • Put in your notes • Make sure to give the graph a title • Label x & y. • Label the x & y axis • The scale for the x & y can be different scales • For example on the x-axis you could go up by 1’s and on the y-axis you could by 5’s. • Plot the ordered pairs
Let’s Practice • Make a scatter plot of the following data in your notes:
Try one more • Graph the Football data in your notes packet
Correlation • Describes a relationship between two data sets. A graph may show the correlation between data.
Describing Correlations from Scatter plots • Describe the correlation Negative Correlation
Describing Correlations from Scatter plots 2) Describe the correlation Positive Correlation
Identifying Correlations • Describe the Correlations: 3) The number of empty seats in a classroom and the number of students you would expect to see. You would expect to see a negative correlation. As the number of students increases, the number of empty seats decreases.
