∙ 13y agoA scatterplot with no correlation means that there is no relation between the two categories, a negative correlation means that the two categories have a relationship that as one gets greater the other gets smaller

A scatter graph may use a positive correlation or negative correlation, to shows points of the graph in either a dipping or climbing line, and is fairly easy to read the data. A zero correlation is when the points are scattered across the graph and this can make seeing the data difficult. It's a bit like "dot to dot" in a children's puzzle book, but without the numbers at the side of the dots!
By finding a correlation trend by means of line of best fit.
It is easy to find the correlation. First you see how far apart the dots are. if they are going UP like this / <---- it means its a positive correlation. if its like this \ <---- its a negative correlation. if its everywhere its a neutral (although they almost never do them in tests). To find out the strength is your opinion. If alot are grouped together almost making a line its a Strong correlation. Then you decide if its a Strong or Weak correlation depending on how close together the dots are. So put them together in a 1 mark question like::::it is a Strong Positive Correlation
When you have a scatter graph and you want to find the correlation of it, you draw a line from one corner to the other of the grid.Also, if the categories are to do with the same thing, then it's a positive correlation.
A correlation exists in a scatter plot if there is a general trend in the outputs as inputs increase. If the outputs generally increase in value, then there is a positive correlation. If the outputs generally decrease in value, then there is a negative correlation.
Can you split the name of this up somehow when you resubmit your question, so that an answerer can attempt to use the search facility on photobucket.com?
you graph the points going downwards
Positive correlation = the slope of the scattered dots will rise from left to right (positive slope) Negative correlation = the slope of the scattered dots will fall from left to right (negative slope) No correlation = no real visible slope, the dots are too scattered to tell.
If Y increases as X increases, you are referring to a positive correlation. However, if Y falls as X increses, you have a negative correlation.
None.
Scatter-plot shows correlation between two different variables (one on the y-axis, the other on x-axis). If there is linear correlation, the scatter-points form a straight line from zero (origo) to some direction. The more cloud-like distribution the scatter-plot does have, the less those variables in question have correlation or dependence with each other.

"If y tends to increase as x increases, then the data have a positive correlation. If y tends to decrease as x increases, then the data have a negative correlation. If the points show no correlation, then the data have approximately no correlation."
You can describe if there's any obvious correlation (like a positive or negative correlation), apparent outliers, and the corrlation coefficient, which is the "r" on your calculator when you do a regression model. The closer "r" is to either -1 or 1, the stronger that correlation is.

it is the line in the middle of the crosses
