What is an outlier?
What is a point that is distant (skewed) from the rest of the data?
100
What type of correlation does this graph show?
What is positive?

What are two points on the line of best fit?
What is (16,300) and (22,500)
100
How do you determine where to place the line of best fit?
There should be close to an equal number of points above and below the line.
200
Which point is the outlier?
What is approximately (30, 6000)?
200
What type of correlation is shown in the scatter plot?
What is negative?

How do you make predictions using a scatter plot?
1) Draw a line of best fit. 2) Determine the slope and y-intercept. 3) Write an equation and use it to make a prediction.

Describe what a positive correlation means for data.
When one variable increases the other variable will also increase.

When finding the equation of the line, how do we find the slope if there are no points on the line?
Make points on the line that go through the corners
