For periods A and D, section 1-6 some vocabulary

For this section you need to know:

Scatterplot - a plot showing a relationship between two sets of data. Each set of data is represented by an axis with its own scale. Each pair of values is represented by a point.

Positive relationship - when two sets of data increase at the same time. A scatterplot that slants upward to the right shows a positive relationship.

Negative relationship - when one set of data increases as the other set of data decreases. A scatterplot that slants downward to the right shows a negative relationship.

No relationship - When two sets of data neither increase or decrease together they show no relationship.
