Scatter Plots

Scatter plots are an easy way of organising data from two categories into 1 graph. A scatter plot is a graph designed to show a relationship between corresponding numbers from two sets of data measurements associated with a single object or event. For example, a graph about marks and the corresponding amount of study time.

Basically, it’s identifying data from 2 categories then placing a dot (point) on a co-ordinate/Cartesian plane at where the data points correspond.

Relationships in Scatter Plots

Sometimes we can draw a generalization from the data that we see in a scatter plot.

If the data points are moving (trending) towards the upper right then it can be considered to have a positive correlation. Both variables are increasing at a similar rate.

If the data points are moving (trending) towards the bottom right then the data can be considered to have a negative correlation. Both variables are decreasing at a similar rate.

If the data points don’t present a trend (all over the place) then the data can be considered to have no correlation.

Positive Correlation

This is an example of a positive correlation, as students spent more time studying, the student grades also improved.

Negative Correlation

This is an example of a negative correlation, as students spent more time training, the time it took to run 100m decreased.

No Correlation

This is an example of no correlation, the colours in a rainbow have no relationship to the shoe size.

Teaching Ideas

compare two attributes or characteristics (e.g., height versus arm span), using a scatter plot, and determine whether or not the scatter plot suggests a relationship.
