Referenced from lesson Scatter Plots (Spring, 2021)

  1. For each row in the Sample Table on the left, add a point to the scatter plot on the right. Use the values from the age column for the x-axis, and values from the weeks column for the y-axis.

  2. Do you see a pattern? Do the points seem to go up or down as age increases to the right?

    • Draw a cloud around all the points, and a line around which the cloud appears to be centered

  3. Does the line slope upwards or downwards?

  4. Are the points tightly clustered around the line or loosely scattered?
