Can you draw a trend line? If so, which direction does it point as you move from left to right on the graph?
Type of Correlation: No correlation. Scatter Plot:
Practice makes perfect
When analyzing data using a scatter plot, there are three general outcomes for the correlation of the data: positive correlation, negative correlation, or no correlation.
Observation
Type of Correlation
As x increases, y increases.
Positive
As x increases, y decreases.
Negative
There is no visible pattern.
No
We can graph the given data as a scatter plot. Are there any trends?
Looking at the graph, it does not appear that there is a recognizable trend. Therefore, we can conclude that there is no correlation.
