4-5 Reteach Scatter Plots and Trend Lines Correlation is one way to describe the relationship between two sets of data. Positive Correlation Data: As one set increases, the other set increases. Graph: The graph goes up from left to right. Negative Correlation Data: As one set increases, the other set decreases. Graph: The graph goes down from left to right. No Correlation Data: There is no relationship between the sets. Graph: The graph has no pattern. Identify the correlation you would expect to see between the number of grams of fat and the number of calories in different kinds of pizzas. When you increase the amount of fat in a food, you also increase calories. So you would expect to see a positive correlation. Identify the correlation you would expect to see between each pair of data sets. Explain. 1. the number of knots tied in a rope and the length of the rope Negative correlation; each knot decreases the length of the rope 2. the height of a woman and her score on an algebra test No correlation; there is no relationship between height and algebra skill Describe the correlation illustrated by each scatter plot. 3. 4. negative correlation positive correlation 38 Holt Algebra 1
4-5 Reteach Scatter Plots and Trend Lines (continued) By drawing a trend line over a graph of data, you can make predictions. The scatter plot shows a relationship between a man s height and the length of his femur (thigh bone). Based on this relationship, predict the length of a man s femur if his height is 160 cm. Step 1: Draw a trend line through the points. Step 2: Go from 160 cm on the x-axis up to the line. Step 3: Go from the line left to the y-axis. The point (160, 41) is on the line. Height Femur A man that is 160 cm tall would have a femur about 41 cm long. To find an x-value, go right from the y-value, and then down to the x-value. So, a man with a 42 cm femur would be about 162 cm tall. Your line should have about as many points above it as below it. It may or may not pass through some points. The scatter plot shows a relationship between engine size and city fuel economy for ten automobiles. 5. Draw a trend line on the graph. 6. Based on the relationship, predict... a. the city fuel economy of an automobile with an engine size of 5 L. Possible answer: 8 mi/gal b. the city fuel economy of an automobile with an engine size of 2.8 L. Possible answer: 20 mi/gal c. the engine size of an automobile with a city fuel economy of 11 mi/gal. Possible answer: 4.5 L d. the engine size of an automobile with a city fuel economy of 28 mi/gal. Possible answer: 1.4 L 39 Holt Algebra 1

The first one has been done for you. Time of Day Number of Drinks 11:00 11:30 12:00 12:30 1:00 20 29 34 49 44 Complete the following. 2. sales go as rainy days increase up 3. gas goes positive: both variables increase negative: one variable increases, other decreases none: points are scattered down as miles increase Write positive, negative, or none to describe the correlation you would expect to see between each pair of data sets. Explain. 4. the temperature during the day and the number of people in the swimming pool positive; as the temperature goes up, more people would go in the pool to cool off 5. the height of algebra students and the number of phone calls they make in one week none; the height of a person has nothing to do with how many phone calls he or she makes 6.

4-6 Reteach Arithmetic Sequences An arithmetic sequence is a list of numbers (or terms) with a common difference between each number. After you find the common difference, you can use it to continue the sequence. Determine whether each sequence is an arithmetic sequence. If so, find the common difference and the next three terms. 1, 2, 4, 8,... 1 2 4 The difference between terms is not constant. This sequence is not an arithmetic sequence. 0, 6, 12, 18,... 6 6 6 The difference between terms is constant.
