Here's a scatter plot showing hours studied vs test scores. Each dot is one student.
- 3
What do we call it when one thing goes up and the other goes up too?
- 4
Let's find the line of best fit for these points.
- 5
Drag the line to fit the scatter plot — try to balance the points above and below.
- 6
If hours studied goes up and test score goes down, what kind of correlation is that?
- 7
Match the scatter plot to the correlation type.
