Ch. 14 – Scatter Plots HOW CAN YOU USE SCATTER PLOTS TO SOLVE REAL WORLD PROBLEMS?
2
Vocabulary __________________– two sets of data usually represented by the x and y value. _________________– a graph with points plotted that show the relationship between two sets of data _______________ – a set of closely grouped data, either in a group or along a line. _____________– a data point that is very different from the rest of the data in the set. _______________– describes how sets of data are related. Positive association, negative association, or no association. ______________ - a straight line that comes closest to the points on the scatter plot. Cluster Association Outlier Bivariate Data Scatter Plots Trend Line

Flip to page 433 in text A. Making a Scatter Plot Answer/Discuss question A – (Look at the table given) Sample Answer: A greater number of study hours are likely to be associated with higher test grades. Answer/Discuss question B – (Make a scatter plot) Reflect/Discuss: 1. What trend do you see? Test scores increase as the number of hours studied increases. 2. Do you think if someone studied for 10 hours, that it would be reflected on the graph? No, the scores that someone can get on a test does not exceed 100.
4
Interpreting Clusters A – Describe the clusters that you see: There are clusters around the 50 minute and 80 minute interval. B - What do the clusters tell you about the eruptions of Old Faithful? (look at time) There are short wait times follow by shorter eruptions and longer wait times followed by longer eruptions. C – Describe any outliers you see in the scatter plot. The point near (57, 3) appears to be an outlier because it does not fall into either cluster.
5
Association – How are the data related? ____________________– data that increases together ____________________– data that decreases together ____________________– no relationship between the two data sets. Positive and negative associations have data that typically lie along a line which exhibits a _______________________. Data that does not lie along a line, typically exhibit a _______________________. YOUR TURN – pg. 435 #6. Work on page 436 #1-4 Positive association linear association no association Negative association nonlinear association

Making Predictions with Trend Lines Pg. 439 A – Make a scatter plot of Joyce's running data. B – Draw a Trend Line – HINT – Start at (0,0) – Draw a line with About the same number of points above and below the line. C – Use the line to make a predictions (To get as close as possible) ** If all points are close to the trend line then you have a ___________ linear association. strong

Finding Equation of Trend Line Use _______ points on your trend line to find the slope and write the equation in slope intercept- form; 1. Find the Slope of Trend Line Hint: You can also use rise/run to find the slope of your trend line. 2. Find the y-intercept of line using 1 ________________ and ____________. 3. Use the slope and y-intercept to write the equation in slope-intercept form two slopecoordinate
8
Pick Coordinates on Trend Line (100,5) (200,10) Find the Slope: M = _______________ = = Find y-intercept: y=mx+b, (100,5) 5 = 1/20(100) + b 5 = 5 + b -5 0 = b Plug into Formula: Y = 1/20x Not an exact equation due to us using a trend line
