Question

Name 3 relationships of scatter plots?

Answer 1

1) Positive relationship: In a positive relationship, the values of two variables increase together. This means that as the x-values increase, the y-values also increase. The scatter plot will show data points clustered near a line that slopes upward from left to right.

2) Negative relationship: In a negative relationship, the values of two variables decrease together. This means that as the x-values increase, the y-values decrease. The scatter plot will show data points clustered near a line that slopes downward from left to right.

3) No relationship: In a no relationship or a random relationship, there is no clear pattern between the two variables. The scatter plot will show data points scattered randomly across the plot with no apparent pattern or trend.
