Scatter Plot (Linear) - R Value to Graph (Level 1)

This topic focuses on interpreting and understanding linear relationships in scatter plots by analyzing the correlation coefficient, symbolized as the \( R \) value. It involves matching given \( R \) values, which range from -1 to 1, indicating various degrees and directions of linear correlations, with appropriate scatter plot graphs. Each question presents different \( R \) values and asks to select the graph that best represents the relationship described by the \( R \) value, helping learners grasp positive, negative, and no correlation scenarios between datasets.
