YOUR TASK: 1. To learn how to create and interpret circle graphs so that you can investigate the relationship between physical and sedentary activities in Canadian children. 2. To learn how to create and interpret scatter plots so you can prove, or disprove, the Vitruvian theory using data compiled from Canadian students, LIKE YOU! :)
THE PROCESS: Follow the posts, in sequence, as you navigate through various websites while you create, describe, interpret, and LEARN! Be sure to work your way through the post IN ORDER so you do not miss any important information. HAVE FUN!

STEP 6: INTERPRETING A SCATTER PLOT





Next, learn about how to INTERPRET scatter plots by clicking HERE. This is a slide show that examines CORRELATION, LINE OF BEST FIT, INTERPOLATION, and EXTRAPOLATION.

Read the information as you click from slide to slide.

Complete the following activity, on graph paper, using the information you have learned about scatter plots via the online resources.






As instructed...

(a) Determine the independent and dependent variables

(b) Determine the scale for your x and y axis

(c) Plot the points on the axis

(d) Draw a line of best fit

I would also like you to complete the following:

(e) Determine the correlation?

(f) Interpolate -- How times would you expect a cricket to chirp at a temperature of 70 degrees?

(g) Extrapolate -- What would you expect the outside temperature to be for a cricket to chirps 60 times in 15 seconds?
