Discovery Activity • Knotty Problem • With your group, follow the directions printed on your paper using the string that your group has been given. • Plot the points (without connecting the dots) • Describe the relationship you see from your data and your graph. • Be prepared to present your graph and compare your graph to the graphs that the other groups create.

  3. What is a scatter plot? • A graph that is used to analyze the relationship between two quantities

  5. You are the manager of the high school soccer team. You are working on the team’s program guide and have recorded the height and weight of the eleven starting players in the given table. • Make a scatterplot of the data.
