Scatter Graphs and Correlation

Key Words: Correlation, Positive, Negative, Line of Best Fit


Line of best fit can be drawn to allow us to estimate.

 A line of best fit roughly follows the pattern of the points


 It does NOT have to go through any points or start on the axes…
Example

Scatter Graphs

Mr. Softee sells ice-creams at outdoor events. He often buys too much or too little ice-
cream from the wholesalers, and therefore does not make as much profit as he'd like to.
He decides to record how many ice-creams he sells over a number of days to see whether
there is a link between the temperature and the number of ice-creams sold.

ice-creams 70 86 50 80 58 96 66 92 74 54 100 62

First decide on the scale for your axes.

Highest x value = 30

Lowest x value = 15

Highest y value = 100

Lowest y value = 50

Plot the values on your axes, x first, then y.

Scatter Graphs and Correlation

The scatter graph shows the age of some runners, and their best
time for the 100m.

Use the graph to estimate the best time of a 12 year old.

A runner takes 15s to run 100m. Use the graph to estimate their
age.

"A 15 year old should run 100m in around 11.5s" - what do you
think of this statement?

Temperature (°C)

Mr. Softee has watched the weather forecast and the temperature is going to be 25°C.
Estimate how many ice creams he can expect to sell.

Identify 25°C.

Draw a line to meet the line of best fit… Then to the other axis.

Estimate the value… Mr. Softee should expect to sell 83 ice creams.
