A scatter plot graphs two sets of data as ordered pairs to show the relationship between the variables. The independent variable determines the dependent variable's value. A positive relationship is shown by an upward sloping line, while a negative relationship slopes downward. Random points indicate no relationship. The document provides examples of scatter plots and questions to determine the type of relationship between variables.

- 2. Scatter Plots A scatter plot is a graph that shows the relationship between two sets of data. In a scatter plot, two sets of data are graphed as ordered pairs on a coordinate system. Scatter plot from http://www.army.mil/ArmyBTKC/i/focus/cpi_tools_13_S.gif
- 3. The dependent variable can only be determined from the value of the independent variable. (The value of the y-coordinate depends on what the value of the x-coordinate is.) An independent variable can be assigned any number from the domain of a relation. (This number usually relates to the x-axis.)
- 4. If the points appear to suggest a line that slants upward to the right, there is a positive relationship . If the points appear to suggest a line that slants downward to the right, there is a negative relationship . If the points seem to be random, then there is no relationship .
