Scatter Plots

And

Correlation

Def: A scatter plot shows the relationship between a collection of ordered pairs.

Enter your lists of data

To make a scatter plot using yourcalculator use the following steps:

h s1 601 552 682 702 1003 653 703 803 743 684 704 804 885 925 756 856 946 1006 987 95

1.

Enter this table into yourcalculator and make a plot.

Where h = hours studied (x) s = test score (y)

2. Find the line of “best fit” The calculator steps are:

STAT

CALC

4:LinReg(ax+b) Enter,

,

,

Your home screen will say: LinReg(ax + b)

Enter

The calculator will calculate the answer:

y = ax + bWhere

b = y-intercept

a = slopea = 5.643791

b = 57.90359

Line of best fit

y = (5.643791)x + 57.90359

3. Enter the equation of best fit into your calculator

y = (5.643791)x + 57.90359

Does the line look like a reasonableapproximation of the data?

Def: The process your calculator goes throughTo find the line of best-fit is called aregression analysis
