Lesson 11.4: Scatter PlotsLesson 11.4: Scatter Plots
Standards: M7D1f & M7A3a & cObjective: To construct a scatter plot
and determine the relationship between two variables.
Scatter PlotScatter Plot• A scatter plot is a graph of plotted points that
shows if there is a relationship between two sets of data or two variables.
• The graph looks like a bunch of dots, but some of the graphs have a general shape or move in a general direction.
y
This vertical line is called the y-axis.
THE COORDINATE PLANETHE COORDINATE PLANE
This horizontal line is called the x-axis.

The x-axis and y-axis separate the coordinate plane
into 4 parts.
This point in the middle of the x-axis and y-axis is called
the originorigin.

To locate a point anywhere on the grid, you need an
ordered pair.
An ordered pair is a pair of numbers used to locate points on a grid.
( 1 , 3 )The FIRST number is called the X- coordinate.
THE COORDINATE PLANETHE COORDINATE PLANE
The SECOND number is called the Y- coordinate.
Construct a scatter plot to show the relationship between the hours spent practicing shooting darts and the dart shooting score.

Positive CorrelationPositive Correlation• If the x-coordinates and the
y-coordinates both increase, then the two variables are said to have a POSITIVE CORRELATION.
• This means that both are going up, and they are related.
Positive CorrelationPositive Correlation• If you look at the age of a child and the child’s height,
you will find that as the child gets older, the child gets taller. Because both are going up, it is positive correlation.
• Can you think of any other examples of variables with a positive relationship?
Age 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Height “
25 31 34 36 40 41 47 55
Negative CorrelationNegative Correlation
• If the x-coordinates and the y-coordinates have one increasing and one decreasing, then the two variables are said to have a NEGATIVE CORRELATION.
• This means that 1 is going up and 1 is going down, making a downhill graph. This means the two are related as opposites.
Negative CorrelationNegative Correlation
• If you look at the age of your family’s car and its value, you will find as the car gets older, the car is worth less. This is negative correlation.
• Can you think of anything else with a negative relationship?
Age of car
1 2 3 4 5
Value $30,000 $27,000 $23,500 $18,700 $15,350
No CorrelationNo Correlation
• If there seems to be no pattern, and the points looked scattered, then it is no correlation.
• This means the two are not related.
No CorrelationNo Correlation
• If you look at the size shoe a baseball player wears, and their batting average, you will find that the shoe size does not make the player better or worse, then are not related.
