Read each question carefully and follow the instructions. Show all your work where applicable.
1. Define what a scatter plot is and explain its primary purpose in data analysis.
2. Which type of correlation describes a relationship where as one variable increases, the other variable generally decreases?
Positive correlation
Negative correlation
No correlation
Perfect correlation
3. The is a line drawn on a scatter plot to show the general trend of the data.
4. When two variables show no clear relationship, they are said to have correlation.
5. Plot the following data on the graph below to create a scatter plot. Label your axes appropriately.
Data: (Hours Studied, Exam Score) (2, 65), (3, 70), (4, 75), (5, 80), (6, 85), (7, 90), (8, 95)
6. Based on the scatter plot you created in question 5, describe the type and strength of the correlation between hours studied and exam score.
7. A correlation implies causation.
True
False
8. Explain why a line of best fit is useful when analyzing a scatter plot.
