Chapter 9 Scatter Plots and Data Analysis LESSON 1 SCATTER PLOTS AND ASSOCIATION
Scatter Plots and Association I can construct a scatterplot. I can describe the association, if any, among the observed data. I can construct and interpret a scatterplot. 8.11(A)
Vocabulary Bivariate data Scatter plot Positive association Negative association No association Linear association Non-linear association
Scatter Plots and Association Data with two variables, or pairs of numerical observations, are called bivariate data. A scatter plot shows the relationship between bivariate data graphed as ordered pairs on a coordinate plane.
Scatter Plots and Association
Two sets of data have a linear association when the data points lie close to a line. When data points do not lie close to a line, the data have a non-linear association.
Scatter Plots and Association
Clusters or outliers can also be identified.
Scatter Plots and Association Variable Association – what is the relationship between the variables? Linear Association – is it linear or non- linear? Are there clusters or outliers?
