scatter plot vocabulary assignment
part a: match the terms to their definitions

1. scatter plot a. a graph that shows the relationship between two variables using dots.
2. data point b. a single dot on the scatter plot representing one observation.
3. axis c. the horizontal and vertical lines that define the graph area.
4. coordinates d. the pair of numbers (x, y) that show the position of a data point.
5. trend e. the general direction in which the data points seem to go.
6. positive correlation f. as one variable increases, the other also increases
7. negative correlation g. as one variable increases, the other decreases.
8. no correlation h. no clear pattern or relationship between the variables.
9. cluster i. a group of data points that are close together.
10. outlier j. a data point that is far away from the others and does not fit the pattern.
