1 Choose an animal from the table on the left, and plot their age/weeks values by adding a dot to the scatter plot on the right (be sure to check your axes!). Then write their name next to your dot. Plot the rest of the animals - one at a time. After each one, ask yourself whether or not you see a pattern in the data. After how many animals did you begin to see a pattern?
Use a straight edge to draw a line on the graph that best represents the pattern you see, then circle the cloud of points around that line.
2 Are the points tightly clustered around the line or loosely scattered?
3 Does this display support the claim that younger animals get adopted faster? Why or why not?
4 Place points on the graph to create a scatter plot with NO relationship. |
