Scatter Plots Basics
This type of plot shows the relationship between two variables using dots.
What is a scatter plot?
What is a negative correlation?
What is the line inside the box?
In a scatter plot depicting exercise time vs. calories burned, more exercise time typically relates to this change in calories burned.
What is an increase in calories burned?
This feature of a box plot represents the variability in the data set over the central 50% of scores.
What is the length of the box or interquartile range?
Using the line of best fit on a scatter plot, you can predict this about data sets.
What is future values or outcomes?
The line that best fits the data points on a scatter plot is called this.
What is the line of best fit?
These two points on a box plot represent the smallest and largest values that are not outliers.
What are the minimum(Lower Extreme) and maximum(Upper Extreme)?
A scatter plot showing the relationship between age and height in children would likely exhibit this kind of trend.
What is a positive correlation?
If a box plot's whisker is much longer on one side, it indicates the data is skewed in this direction.
What is in the direction of the longer whisker (left or right)?
In a scatter plot with a positive trend, as one variable increases, this happens to the other variable.
What is it also increases?
This word describes when the points in a scatter plot cluster closely to form a visible pattern or trend.
What is correlation?
This term describes the range that encompasses 50% of the data in a box plot.
What is the interquartile range(IQR)?
When scatter plot data points create a curve rather than a straight line, the relationship is this type.
What is non-linear?
In a box plot, this feature indicates the dispersion of the middle 50% of the data.
What is the interquartile range?
When predicting data values using a scatter plot, ensure the data closely follows this line to increase accuracy.
What is the line of best fit?
When one variable increases as the other variable increases, the scatter plot shows this type of correlation.
What is a positive correlation?
A data point that is far removed from the other values in a box plot is known as this.
What is an outlier?
A scatter plot with points that have no discernible upward or downward trend is described this way.
What is no correlation?
A small interquartile range in a box plot suggests this about the data values.
What is that the data values are consistent or have less variability?
In a negative correlation scatter plot, as one variable increases, this happens to the other variable.
What is it decreases?
When one variable decreases as the other variable increases, the plot displays this type of correlation.
What is a negative correlation?
These three numbers divide the data set into four equal parts on a box plot.
What are quartiles(Q1: Lower quartile; Q2: Median; Q3: Upper quartile?
The steepness or angle of the line of best fit in a scatter plot indicates this about the relationship's strength.
What is the rate of change or slope?
If a box plot shows a wide interquartile range and long whiskers, this indicates what about the data set?
What is a high variability in the data?
The presence of outliers in a scatter plot impacts predictions by causing this to the line of best fit.
What is distortion or bias?
