Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 8.153 Interpreting Scatter Plots Direction and Form skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Hard
A graph of number of pattern steps versus total tiles used uses the points (1, 10), (2, 21), (3, 34), (4, 52), (5, 74), (6, 100), (7, 131), (8, 164). Which description is most accurate?
ANo clear association
BPositive linear association
CNegative nonlinear association
DPositive nonlinear association
Solution & Explanation:The points increase overall and follow a curve, not a straight line, so the association is positive nonlinear.
Problem 2Difficulty: Hard
These values are shown as a scatter plot for pages read in a series and fan club sign-ups: (1, 8), (2, 13), (3, 18), (4, 29), (5, 39), (6, 52), (7, 67), (8, 84). What is the most reasonable description of the relationship?
ANo clear association
BNegative nonlinear association
CPositive nonlinear association
DNegative linear association
Solution & Explanation:Because the upward trend speeds up or slows down instead of staying constant, the form is nonlinear and the direction is positive.
Problem 3Difficulty: Hard
A scatter plot is created from x-values 1, 2, 6, 10, 17, 20, 22, 24 and y-values 14, 18, 30, 41, 62, 72, 79, 83. Which label fits the overall pattern?
ANegative linear association
BPositive linear association
CNo clear association
DNegative nonlinear association
Solution & Explanation:The overall pattern goes up as x goes up, and it does not bend much, so the relationship is positive and linear.
