Scatter Graphs & Correlation

Fourteen students each take two tests in French, a speaking test and a written test.
The table shows the scores.

Complete the scatter diagram.
The first ten points have been plotted for you.

What type of correlation is shown in this scatter diagram?

One student has a high score in the speaking test and a low score in the written test.

On the scatter diagram, put a ring around this point.

On the scatter diagram, draw a line of best fit.

Use your line of best fit to estimate a score in the written test for a student who scored 25 in the speaking test.

The number of attempts at a driving test and the number of driving lessons for each of 17 people are shown in the scatter diagram.

The scatter diagram shows the value, in thousands of dollars, of eight houses in 1996 and the value of the same houses in 2016.

One of these eight houses had a value of $70000 in 1996.
Write down the value of this house in 2016.

$ .................................

The values of two more houses are shown in the table.

On the scatter diagram, plot these values.

On the scatter diagram, draw a line of best fit.

Another house had a value of $50000 in 1996.

Find an estimate of the value of this house in 2016.

Lucy asked 12 people how many hours they each spent playing a computer game and the number of levels they each completed in one month.

The results are shown in the table.

Complete the scatter diagram.
The first eight points have been plotted for you.

One person completes more levels per hour than any of the others.

On the scatter diagram, put a ring around the point for this person.

What type of correlation does this scatter diagram show?

On the scatter diagram, draw a line of best fit.

Another person, Monika, completed 19 levels but forgot to record the time spent playing.

Use your line of best fit to estimate the number of hours that Monika spent playing.

Belle records the height, in centimetres, and the mass, in kilograms, of some goats.
Some of her results are shown in the scatter diagram.

The table shows four more results.

Plot these points on the scatter diagram.

What type of correlation is shown in this scatter diagram?
