Correlation
Determine how close the line is to the scatter plot. Clear video instruction shows how to plot a scatter plot and find the best fit line using the linear regression function on a calculator. Pupils use the information from the calculator...

Best Fit Lines
What fits best? Pupils watch a video that reviews creating a scatter plot. Learners develop an understanding of correlation and determine whether it is moderate, strong, or none as well as positive or negative. Finally, they use a...

Scatter Graphs
Make an estimate by getting in line. The class works with scatter plots and lines of best fit to make an estimate for given values. Pupils determine whether there is a positive or negative correlation and draw a best-fit line. Using the...

Scatter Plots
Show learners how to plot data to determine correlation. A data analysis video gives examples of positive, negative, and no correlation between variables. The final example plots real-life data, provides a line of best fit, and...

What Does it Mean To Have No Correlation?
What does it mean when a scatter plot graph shows that there is no correlation? Does it have something to do with the slope of the line of fit? Yes, it certainly does have to do with the line of fit. If the slope of the line is zero,...

How Do You Use a Scatter Plot to Find a Positive Correlation?
You can use a scatter plot to determine if there is a positive, negative, or no correlation between the given data. After graphing data you need to find a line of fit, a line that best represents the data you've graphed. It will be the...

How Do You Use a Scatter Plot to Find No Correlation?
How do you determine the correlation in a set of data? Plot the data, find the line of fit, then use that line to determine if the correlation is positive, negative, or no correlation. This tutorial demonstrates that when a line of fit...
Curated OER
What's Negative Correlation?
If the y-value decreases as the x-value increases then you have a negative correlation. Meaning that the line-of-fit has a negative slope.

How Do You Use a Scatter Plot to Find a Line of Fit?
What is a line-of-fit? Given a data set, plot the ordered pairs on a graph. It looks like a scatter plot. Now estimate, and draw a line that best fits what the data represents. That is your line-of-fit.

What's Positive Correlation?
If the y-value increases as the x-value increases then you have a positive correlation. Meaning that the line-of-fit has a positive slope.
