Scatter Plot (Linear) - Graph to Correlation Direction and Strength (Level 1)

This math topic focuses on analyzing scatter plots to determine the direction and strength of correlations. There are questions that feature different scatter plots, and students must identify whether each exhibits no correlation, a weak or strong negative correlation, or a weak, medium or strong positive correlation. The objective is to enhance students' abilities to visually interpret data trends and correlations within scatter plots, which is a fundamental skill in data analysis and statistics.
