3 What You Should Learn Construct scatter plots and interpret correlation Use scatter plots and a graphing utility to find linear models for data

4 Scatter Plots and Correlation

5 Many real-life situations involve finding relationships between two variables, such as the year and the number of employees in the cellular telecommunications industry. In a typical situation, data are collected and written as a set of ordered pairs. The graph of such a set is called a scatter plot.

6 Example 1 – Constructing a Scatter Plot The data in the table show the numbers E (in thousands) of employees in the cellular telecommunications industry in the United States from 2002 through Construct a scatter plot of the data.

7 Example 1 – Solution Begin by representing the data with a set of ordered pairs. Let t represent the year, with t = 2 corresponding to (2, 192), (3, 206), (4, 226), (5, 233), (6, 254), (7, 267) Then plot each point in a coordinate plane, as shown in Figure Figure 1.66

8 Scatter Plots and Correlation From figure 1.66 we can say that, a mathematical equation that approximates the relationship between t and E is a mathematical model. When developing a mathematical model to describe a set of data, you strive for two (often conflicting) goals-accuracy and simplicity. For the data above, a linear model of the form E = at + b (where a and b are constants) appears to be best. It is simple and relatively accurate.

9 Scatter Plots and Correlation Consider a collection of ordered pairs of the form (x, y). If y tends to increase as x increases, then the collection is said to have a positive correlation. If y tends to decrease as x increases, then the collection is said to have a negative correlation.

10 Scatter Plots and Correlation Figure 1.67 shows three examples: one with a positive correlation, one with a negative correlation, and one with no (discernible) correlation. Positive correlationNegative correlationNo correlation Figure 1.67

11 Example 2 – Interpreting Correlation On a Friday, 22 students in a class were asked to record the numbers of hours they spent studying for a test on Monday and the numbers of hours they spent watching television. The results are shown below. (The first coordinate is the number of hours and the second coordinate is the score obtained on the test.) Study Hours: (0, 40), (1, 41), (2, 51), (3, 58), (3, 49), (4, 48), (4, 64), (5, 55), (5, 69), (5, 58), (5, 75), (6, 68), (6, 63), (6, 93), (7, 84), (7, 67), (8, 90), (8, 76), (9, 95), (9, 72), (9, 85), (10, 98)

12 Example 2 – Interpreting Correlation TV Hours: (0, 98), (1, 85), (2, 72), (2, 90), (3, 67), (3, 93), (3, 95), (4, 68), (4, 84), (5, 76), (7, 75), (7, 58), (9, 63), (9, 69), (11, 55), (12, 58), (14, 64), (16, 48), (17, 51), (18, 41), (19, 49), (20, 40) a. Construct a scatter plot for each set of data. b. Determine whether the points are positively correlated, are negatively correlated, or have no discernible correlation. What can you conclude? cont’d

13 Example 2(a) – Solution Scatter plots for the two sets of data are shown in Figure Figure 1.68

14 Example 2(b) – Solution The scatter plot relating study hours and test scores has a positive correlation. This means that the more a student studied, the higher his or her score tended to be. The scatter plot relating television hours and test scores has a negative correlation. This means that the more time a student spent watching television, the lower his or her score tended to be. cont’d

15 Fitting a Line to Data

16 Fitting a Line to Data Finding a linear model to represent the relationship described by a scatter plot is called fitting a line to data.

17 Example 3 – Fitting a Line to Data Find a linear model that relates the year to the number of employees in the cellular telecommunications industry in the United States.

18 Example 3 – Solution Let t represent the year, with t = 2 corresponding to After plotting the data in the table, draw the line that you think best represents the data, as shown in Figure Two points that lie on this line are (3, 206) and (6, 254). Cellular Telecommunications Industry Figure 1.69

19 Example 3 – Solution Using the point-slope form, you can find the equation of the line to be E = 16(t – 3) = 16t Linear model cont’d

20 Fitting a Line to Data Once you have found a model, you can measure how well the model fits the data by comparing the actual values with the values given by the model, as shown in the following table. The sum of the squares of the differences between the actual values and the model values is called the sum of the squared differences.

21 Fitting a Line to Data The model that has the least sum is called the least squares regression line for the data. For the model in Example 3, the sum of the squared differences is 54. The least squares regression line for the data is E = 15.0t Its sum of squared differences is 37. Another way to find a linear model to represent the relationship described by a scatter plot is to enter the data points into a graphing utility and use the linear regression feature. This method is demonstrated in Example 4. Best-fitting linear model

22 The data in the table show the estimated numbers v (in thousands) of alternative-fueled vehicles in use in the United States from 2001 through (Source: Energy Information Administration) Example 4 – A Mathematical Model

23 Example 4 – A Mathematical Model a. Use the regression feature of a graphing utility to find a linear model for the data. Let t represent the year, with t = 1 corresponding to b. How closely does the model represent the data? cont’d

24 Example 4(a) – Solution Using the linear regression feature of a graphing utility, you can find that a linear model for the data is V = 42.8t

25 Example 4(b) – Solution You can see how well the model fits the data by comparing the actual values of V with the values of V given by the model, which are labeled V* in the table below. From the table, you can see that the model appears to be a good fit for the actual data. cont’d

26 Fitting a Line to Data When you use the regression feature of a graphing calculator or computer program to find a linear model for data, you will notice that the program may also output an “r -value.” For instance, the r -value from Example 4 was r  This r -value is the correlation coefficient of the data and gives a measure of how well the model fits the data. The correlation coefficient r varies between –1 and 1. Basically, the closer | r | is to 1, the better the points can be described by a line.

27 Fitting a Line to Data Three examples are shown in Figure r = r = – r = Figure 1.72
