Examples, solutions, videos, worksheets, and lessons to help Grade 8 students learn about Scatter Plots, Line of Best Fit and Correlation.
A scatter plot or scatter diagram is a two-dimensional graph in which the points corresponding to two related factors are graphed and observed for correlation. A downward trend in points shows a negative correlation. An upward trend in points shows a positive correlation. If there is no trend in graph points then there is no correlation.
The following diagram shows some examples of scatter plots and correlations. Scroll down the page for more examples and solutions using scatter plots, correlations and lines of best fit.
