1. Chapter 2.4 Paired Data and Scatter Plots

2. Scatter Plots A scatter plot is a graph of ordered pairs of data values that is used to determine if a relationship exists between the two variables.

3. Scatter Plot Correlations

4. Analyzing Scatter Plots 1.A positive linear relationship exists when the points fall approximately in an ascending line. Both x and y values are increasing. 2.A negative linear relationship exists when points fall approximately in a descending line. As x values increase, y values decrease. 3.A nonlinear relationship exists when points fall in a curve 4.No relationship exists when there is no discernable pattern of the points
