A scatter plot would be best for non-related data points. A line graph would be best for related data points.
The answer depends on the purpose of the plot.
They are the data points, plotted on the appropriate coordinates!
Yes. The exception arises when you have outliers.
False
You can have a scatter plot where the data is displayed as a collection of points. You can also have a dot plot where a set of data is represented by placing dots over a number line to represent the frequency of data.
A scatter plot would be best for non-related data points. A line graph would be best for related data points.
False
randomness of data
The answer depends on the purpose of the plot.
There are many benefits of using a stem and leaf plot in the analysis of data. A stem and leaf plot can be constructed quickly. The value of each data point can be recovered from the plot. The data is arranged compactly because the stem is not repeated in multiple data points.
They are the data points, plotted on the appropriate coordinates!
A straight line which best describes the data on a scatter plot is called a "line of best fit". The line could pass through some of the points, all of them, or none of them.
line of fit
Yes. The exception arises when you have outliers.
False
True. In a data plot, the line of best fit represents the average trend of the data. Therefore, approximately half of the data points should lie below the line of best fit and half should lie above it if the data is evenly distributed.
