An environmental scientist is studying the relationship between the depth of a lake (in meters) and the concentration of dissolved oxygen (in mg/L). Which of the following is the most likely response variable for this study?

A scatterplot showing the relationship between outside temperature and heating costs displays a pattern that starts at the top left and moves toward the bottom right. How would you describe the direction of this association?

A researcher observes that a scatterplot of height versus weight for a group of athletes follows a straight-line pattern with very little scatter. Which description best fits the form and strength of this relationship?

In a scatterplot of 'Time Spent Practicing' versus 'Number of Mistakes,' one point is located far to the right of the other data points but lies directly on the linear path formed by the rest. How is this point best described?

Predicting the time it takes to read a book based on its length

Which of the following describes a situation where the variable 'Number of Pages in a Book' would be the explanatory variable?

A scatterplot of 'Age of Car' and 'Resale Value' shows a curved pattern where the value drops quickly at first and then levels off. What is the most accurate description of the form?

Direction, Form, Strength, Unusual features

When interpreting a scatterplot in an AP Statistics context, which four characteristics should always be addressed?

Correlation only measures the strength of linear relationships

A student calculates a correlation coefficient to describe a scatterplot where the points form a perfect U-shape. Why might this be misleading?

A large amount of scatter around the underlying form

If a scatterplot has a 'weak' strength, what would you expect to see in the graph?

There is no apparent association between the variables

A scatterplot of 'Shoe Size' and 'IQ Score' shows a random cloud of points with no apparent trend. What is the most appropriate conclusion?

English

Students will practice identifying explanatory and response variables and interpreting scatterplots for direction, form, strength, and outliers.
