Positive Association
Positive Association
When 'y' values tend to increase as 'x' values increase in a data set, there is a positive association between the two variables. Basically, as one goes up, the other tends to go up too.
Negative Association
Negative Association
When 'y' values tend to decrease as 'x' values increase in a data set, there is a negative association between the two variables. In short, as one goes up, the other tends to go down.
No Association
No Association
When there's no clear relationship between the 'x' and 'y' values in a data set, there is no association.

Study Notes
Grade Level and Lesson
- Grade Eight
- Lesson 3-5
- Student book pages 112-119
- Component book pages 63-66
- Topic: Scatter Plots and Lines of Fit
Objectives

- Students will use fitted functions to solve problems in the context of the data
- Students will interpret the slope of a trend line within the context of data
Vocabulary
- Negative association
- Negative correlation
- No association
- Positive association
- Positive correlation
- Trend line
Scatter Plots and Correlation
- Scatter plots display relationships between two data sets
- A negative association means one data set decreases as the other data set increases
- A positive association means one data set increases as the other data set increases
- No association indicates no clear relationship between the data sets
Model and Discuss Activity
- Nicholas' scatter plot represents the relationship between screen size and cost of televisions
- The only difference between the televisions is their screen size
- Students need to describe the pattern in the data points, discuss the relationship between screen size and cost, and predict the cost of other TV sizes
Example 1: Understanding Association
- Positive association: Temperature increases with increasing hours after sunrise
- Negative association: Temperature decreases with increasing hours after sunset
- No association: No correlation between hours after sunset and rainfall amount
Try It! Activities
- Students need to describe the type of association for given scatter plots
- These scatter plots show the relationship between different variables.
Example 2: Understanding Correlation
- A scatter plot approximates a line showing a trend
- A trend line illustrates the general direction of the data
- Trend lines aim to fit the data as accurately as possible
Example 3: Write the Equation of a Trend Line
- Trend line models the general direction of data
- Balance of points above and below the line
- Selecting two points provides the slope
- The slope-intercept form equation is used
- The trend line represents one possible solution to modelling the given data
Example 4: Interpret Trend Lines
- The process of predicting future data points based on past data
- Determining how changes to inputs or independent variables influence or change the output
Try It! Activities (Continued)
- Questions about trend lines in slope-intercept form
- Questions about data points not being on a trend line yet the trend line describing the data
Other Activities
- Making scatter plots from tables
