Read each question carefully and answer to the best of your ability. This worksheet will test your understanding of scatter plots and different types of associations.
1. Which type of association is shown when the 'y' values tend to increase as the 'x' values increase?
Negative Association
Positive Association
No Association
Non-linear Association
2. A scatter plot where points are randomly spread out with no clear pattern indicates what type of association?
Positive Association
Negative Association
No Association
Linear Association
3. A scatter plot is a graph that shows the relationship between two sets of .
4. When the 'y' values tend to decrease as the 'x' values increase, the scatter plot shows a association.
5. If the points on a scatter plot generally form a straight line, it indicates a association.
6. Give an example of two variables that would likely have a positive association on a scatter plot.
7. Describe what a non-linear association would look like on a scatter plot.
8. Observe the scatter plot below, which shows the number of hours studied versus test scores for a group of students.
Plot the following data points on the graph: (2, 50), (3, 60), (4, 70), (5, 75), (6, 80), (7, 85), (8, 90).
What type of association does this scatter plot show? Explain your reasoning.
9. A strong association means the points on a scatter plot are very close to forming a clear pattern.
True
False
10. The independent variable is typically plotted on the y-axis of a scatter plot.
True
False
