1. Lesson 11.4: Scatter Plots Lesson 11.4: Scatter Plots Objective: Determine the correlation of a scatter plot

2. Warm Up 1. What is the slope of a line that passes through points with coordinates (-2,-6) and (-4, -5)? a. -2 b. - 1/2 c. 1/2 d. 2 2. Given that the Slope Intercept Formula is y = mx + b, and remembering that m = the slope, give the slope of the following linear equations: a. y = -3x + 5 b. y = 3/5x + 7 c. y = 4x - 3 3. What is the slope of the equation 3x + 2y = 6? (Hint: Solve for y. This will give you the Slope Intercept Form)

3. Scatter Plot Scatter Plot • A scatter plot is a graph of a collection of ordered pairs (x,y). • The graph looks like a bunch of dots, but some of the graphs are a general shape or move in a general direction.

4. Positive Correlation Positive Correlation • If the x-coordinates and the y-coordinates both increase, then it is POSITIVE CORRELATION. • This means that both are going up, and they are related.

5. Positive Correlation Positive Correlation • If you look at the age of a child and the child’s height, you will find that as the child gets older, the child gets taller. Because both are going up, it is positive correlation. Age 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Height “ 25 31 34 36 40 41 47 55

6. Negative Correlation Negative Correlation • If the x-coordinates and the y- coordinates have one increasing and one decreasing, then it is NEGATIVE CORRELATION. • This means that 1 is going up and 1 is going down, making a downhill graph. This means the two are related as opposites.

7. Negative Correlation Negative Correlation • If you look at the age of your family’s car and its value, you will find as the car gets older, the car is worth less. This is negative correlation. Age of car 1 2 3 4 5 Value $30,000 $27,000 $23,500 $18,700 $15,350

8. No Correlation No Correlation • If there seems to be no pattern, and the points looked scattered, then it is no correlation. • This means the two are not related.

9. No Correlation No Correlation • If you look at the size shoe a baseball player wears, and their batting average, you will find that the shoe size does not make the player better or worse, then are not related.

10. Scatterplots Which scatterplots below show a linear trend? a) c) e) b) d) f) Negative Correlation Positive Correlation Constant Correlation
