CONSTRUCTING A SCATTER PLOT

CONSTRUCTING A SCATTER PLOT. To construct a scatter plot:. 1. Once you have the data to plot, find the difference between the largest and smallest values for each variable. 2. Try to keep the number of intervals on each axis between 10 and 20. - Too many intervals makes it hard to read.

  1. CONSTRUCTING ASCATTER PLOT

  2. To construct a scatter plot: 1. Once you have the data to plot, find the difference between the largest and smallest values for each variable. 2. Try to keep the number of intervals on each axis between 10 and 20. - Too many intervals makes it hard to read. - Too few intervals makes it hard to make.

  3. To construct a scatter plot: 3. Draw your axes’. Normally you will be working in just the first quadrant (I). 4. Label each axis and put in the intervals. You do not have to number every interval. **Remember, by making your plot look neat and clean, you can get people to look at it and work with it.

  4. To construct a scatter plot: 5. Plot your data. 6. Draw your trend line. 7. Find two points on your trend line. It is best to NOT use a plotted point. 8. Find the slope between the two points. 9. Find the y-intercept. 10. Write the equation of the line in slope- intercept form.
