Making Scattergraphs X coordinate • Students receive data on fertility rates of almost all countries ranging from lowest (1.2) to highest (8.0), and arranged in six groups. • They randomly choose six countries from each of the six ranges. This gives them a sample of 36 that includes high, medium and low, as well developed and developing countries.
Y coordinate • Students are given two variables to plot for their 36 countries. • Together we make educated guesses about whether we think there will be a positive, negative, or no correlation between the X and Y coordinates, in other words between fertility rates and each proximate determinant. • Per capita national income (GNI PPP per Capita) • Percent of married woman 15-49 using contraception (modern methods) • Percentage of women economically active • Percentage of Females enrolled in Secondary School • Percentage of Women Married in the 15-19 age group • Childbearing under the age of 20 (measured in births per 1000)
Graphing • They have to make two graphs by hand and fully label them (which I have already modeled for them at the beginning of the chapter when they make a graph for relationship between fertility rates and year of birth of the mother). • They only draw their “line of best fit” in class when they meet with the other people who had the same graphs as them.
