Unit 7 scatter plots & data analysis
Lesson 12 scatter plots & data analysis
In Lesson 12, we will be focusing on scatter plots and data analysis.
A scatter plot is a graphical representation of data points in a Cartesian coordinate system. Each data point is represented by a dot on the graph with the x-axis representing one variable and the y-axis representing another variable. Scatter plots are useful for visually representing the relationship between two variables and identifying any patterns or trends in the data.
In this lesson, you will learn how to create a scatter plot, interpret the data displayed on the plot, and analyze the relationship between the two variables. You will also learn how to calculate the correlation coefficient, which is a measure of the strength and direction of the relationship between two variables.
By the end of this lesson, you should be able to analyze data using scatter plots, identify patterns or trends in the data, and interpret the relationship between two variables. You will also be able to calculate the correlation coefficient and determine if there is a significant relationship between the variables.
