Scatter plot
Pie chart
2. When points on a scatter plot generally rise from left to right, it indicates a correlation.
3. The line that best represents the trend in a scatter plot is called the .
4. Describe what a 'line of best fit' represents in the context of a scatter plot.
5. Consider the following data showing the number of hours studied (X) and the test scores (Y) for 5 students:
Student 1: (2, 60) Student 2: (3, 70) Student 3: (4, 80) Student 4: (5, 85) Student 5: (6, 90)
a) Plot these points on the graph below and draw a line of best fit.
b) Based on your line of best fit, predict the test score of a student who studied for 7 hours.
6. A negative correlation means that as one variable increases, the other variable also increases.
True
False
