Part One: Drawing Them

 Resson Objective
‡ To be able to draw a Scatter Diagram
|



 Scatter Diagram is a graph of unconnected points

When drawing graphs, we must remember to do the

following things:
1. lways give the graph a title
2. lways label both axis, including correct units
3. Choose a sensible scale
4. Plot your points carefully (x first, y second)

 Interpreting Scatter Diagrams

‡ The relationship between two variables is called a

Correlation
‡  line of bestfit is a line which helps us to identify the type of
correlation (positive, negative, no correlation) & make
predictions
‡ The line of best fit is drawn so that the points are evenly
distributed on either side of the line
‡ The 
 the dots to the line, the

 the correlation
Remember:
1. The line of best fit is a STRIGHT RINE
2. It DOES NOT have to pass through the origin
3. It DOES NOT have to go through each point
