Interpreting Scatterplots

“A scatter plot illustrates the association between the number of hours students dedicate to studying and their corresponding test scores. If the data points on the scatter plot generally demonstrate that as study time increases, test scores also tend to increase, identify the type of correlation present and interpret what this suggests about the relationship between studying and test performance. A scatter plot depicts the relationship between the age of a car and its market value. If the data points on the scatter plot generally indicate that as the age of the car increases, its value decreases, identify the type of correlation exhibited and interpret what this suggests about the relationship between a car's age and its value. A scatter plot represents the relationship between shoe size and reading speed. If the data points on the scatter plot appear randomly distributed with no discernible pattern, identify the type of correlation observed and interpret what this suggests about the relationship between shoe size and reading speed.”
