Scatter Graphs

散点图

Description

Plot bivariate data on a scatter graph with correctly labelled axes and appropriate scales; describe the correlation (positive, negative, none) and draw an estimated line of best fit where appropriate

Mastery Evidence
  • Plot 10 data points on a scatter graph with correct axis labels and a consistent scale
  • Draw a line of best fit by eye, ensuring roughly equal numbers of points above and below
  • Use the line of best fit to estimate a y-value for a given x-value within the data range
Assessment Prompt

If your child has data comparing hours of sleep and test scores for 10 students, can they plot the points on a scatter graph, draw a line of best fit, and use it to predict a score for someone who slept 7 hours?
