Read each question carefully and provide thorough answers. Show all your work where applicable. For questions involving scatter plots, analyze the relationship between the variables and describe the correlation.
1. Which of the following correlation coefficients represents the strongest linear relationship?
r = 0.5
r = -0.8
r = 0.2
r = 0.0
2. A scatter plot shows data points generally rising from left to right. This indicates:
Negative correlation
Positive correlation
No correlation
Curvilinear correlation
3. A correlation coefficient of -1 indicates a linear relationship.
4. When creating a scatter plot, the independent variable is typically plotted on the -axis.
5. Correlation implies causation.
True
False
6. An outlier can significantly affect the correlation coefficient.
True
False
7. Describe the characteristics of a scatter plot that shows a strong negative linear correlation.
8. Explain the difference between correlation and causation, providing an example of each.
9. Analyze the scatter plot below and answer the questions that follow.
a. Describe the correlation shown in the scatter plot (direction, strength, form).
b. Based on the scatter plot, if a student studied for 7 hours, what would be a reasonable prediction for their exam score?
