Linear vs Non-Linear Scatter Plots

Compare linear and non-linear patterns in data distributions. Learn to distinguish scatter plots that follow a straight line from those that do not.

Questions

  1. MultiChoice

    Which pattern of points indicates that a linear model is appropriate?

  2. MultiChoice

    A scatter plot of ball height vs time after launch forms a parabolic curve. Is a line of best fit appropriate?

  3. MultiChoice

    Which scenario would most likely result in a NON-LINEAR scatter plot?

  4. MultiChoice

    If scatter plot data curves upward faster and faster as x increases, the association is:

  5. MultiChoice

    What happens if you fit a straight line model to strongly curved non-linear data?

  6. MultiChoice

    Which graph pattern suggests a linear association?

  7. MultiChoice

    Bacteria population doubling every hour creates what type of scatter plot pattern?

  8. MultiChoice

    How can you tell from a graph whether to use a linear model versus a curved model?

  9. MultiChoice

    A linear model is best described as having a rate of change that is:

  10. MultiChoice

    A non-linear model is best described as having a rate of change that is:

  11. MultiChoice

    A scatter plot shows car value dropping rapidly at first then leveling off. This pattern is:

  12. MultiChoice
