Scatterplots and Stem-and-Leaf Plots

For Students 9th - 12th Standards
Is there a correlation between the number of cats you own and your age? Use a scatter plot to analyze these correlation questions. Learners plot data and look for positive, negative, or no correlation, then create stem-and-leaf plots to...

Approximating a Line of Best Fit

For Students 9th - 12th Standards
You may be able to see patterns visually, but mathematics quantifies them. Here learners find correlation in scatterplots and write equations to represent that relationship. They fit a line to the data, find two points on the line, and...

Khan Academy: Making Good Scatter Plots

For Students 7th - 8th Standards
A good scatter plot has the independent variable on the x-axis and the dependent variable on the y-axis. Also, the scale of both axes should be reasonable, making the data as easy to read as possible. In these practice problems, we...
