assignment #2--Reading Scatter Plots and Understanding Correlations

The graph shows that the taller the person is the bigger the shoe size and the shorter the person is the shorter the shoe size in some ocasssions. There is a correlation becauseand it can be both positive and negative. The graph shows the relationship between shoe size and height. The shoe size can change depending on your height, so you dont have to be tall to have a bigger shoe size or small to have a smaller shoe size, it ranges.


In this graph the dots in the diagram haor lenght vs. height are scaterred everywhere. there can also be a positive or negative correlation because for the most part in this graph the relationship was weak the hair lenght did not affect height in any way. Also this graph tells us that many tall and short students had different hair lenght. Some of the points that seem unusual are the people with long hair lenght and shorter lenght. If you take these out there is a somewhat a positive correlation because most of the people regardless of height have almost the same constant hair lenght.
