Question

Based on the scatter plot, is there any positive, negative or no correlation? Explain

Used desmos to find the coefficient of correlation ( r )? Would you consider it strong, weak or somewhere between? Explain.

What is the equation for the line of best fit? Using desmos

A coach pushes his players to get 30 shots on net every game. Based on your equation, how many goals would you expect this team to score?


According to hockey analysis, if a team can score 3 goals a game, than they are likely to be a very good team. Based on your equation how many shots would a team need to take to score three goals?

We need to make a scatter plot graph of the relationship between goals and shots per game in the NHL eastern conference in the 2016- 2017 season using the table in the picture.

Answer 1

A scatter plot is a type of graph that shows pairs of data plotted as points. ... If the points on the scatter plot seem to be scattered randomly, there is no relationship or no correlation between the variables. When there is a positive or negative relationship between your variables, you can draw a line of best fit.
