1B Math SL-2 Name HW 1- Scatter Plots and Linear Correlation Describe the correlation shown by each of these scatter diagrams. Ifthe independent and dependent variables show a positive correlation then as the independent variable increases the dependent variable ifthe independent and dependent variables show a negative correlation then asthe independent variable increases the dependent variable : 3. This table shows the rainfall in cm in Tennessee from 2000 to 2008. Year 2000 | 2001 | 2002 | 2003 | 2004 | 2005 | 2006 | 2007 | 2008 Rainfall | 42 | 51 | 39 | 44 | 32 33, 30 28 21 a. Show this data on a scatter diagram. (Do it by hand first then practice with your GDC) b. Describe the correlation. cc, In general, what has happened to the rainfall since the year 2000? This table shows a group of friends with their mathematics and science scores. Friend Tim Ted Tom Tod May Ray, Kay, Jay Math 85 75, 66 80 70 95 90 Science 75, oS 40 2 55 38 80 a. Drawa scatter diagram. (Do it by hand first then practice with your GDC) b. Describe the correlation in terms of strength, direction and form. The table below shows the number of hours spent studying and the increas« mathematics. the students’ grades in Increase | -2 1 3 7 9 9 8 10 14 inGrade L a. Find the mean point, b. Construct a scatter diagram and draw a line of best fit through your mean point. Check your answer using your GDC. c. Describe the correlation. d. What can you say about the effect of the number of hours spent studying mathematics and the increase in grade? ‘The scatter diagram shows the marks obtained by students in a test out of 50 marks, plotted against the number of hours each student studied for the test. eg a. Describe the correlation between the variables. 50] bow = vente b. How should the outlier be treated? Explain. wl ates 0 Z a sn othourotsly Mo had always been told to stop playing computer games and get on with some work, and so he decided to conduct a survey of 10 friends to see the effect on GPA. The results are shown, GPA 27 [38 [15 [36 [22[38[ 2 [19 [25] 3 Game | Time | {h/weer) | 10 | 24 | 25 | a7 | 5 | 26 | 24 | 30 | 22 | 7 |. Find the correlation coefficient, the r-value), and the regression line equation. b. Describe the correlation. c. Based on the survey, would Mo's grade increase if his game time decreased? Kelly has always been told to stop chatting on the computer and focus on her studies. Kelly wants to see if there will be any effect on school grades first, and decides to survey 10 friends.
