What columns do you think might have a relationship?
(e.g. is the number of veterans related to the land-area? Is the population in 2010 related to the population in 2020?)

1 I think that
might be related to
because

2 I think that
might be related to
because

What do you predict the relationships will look like? (e.g. Negative? Positive? Curves?)

Label the axes on the graphs below with your variables from 1 and 2. Then sketch how you imagine they might be related.

3 A An empty first quadrant graph showing only the x and y axes

How confident are you in your prediction?
not at all somewhat very

4 A An empty first quadrant graph showing only the x and y axes

How confident are you in your prediction?
not at all somewhat very

# scatter-plot :: (Table, Stringlabels, Stringexplanatory, Stringresponse) -> Image

Use the Contract above to make a scatter plot for each relationship.
(Use "state" as the label, so that clicking on a point will show you which state you’re looking at.)

If there’s a pattern, describe it so that someone else could sketch it. What does it mean? If there isn’t a pattern, what does that mean?

More Relationships

Pyret allows us to generate many scatter plots, quite quickly! Take advantage of that to identify two relationships that appear to be strong. Hint: If you’re working in the Interactions Area of Pyret, you can hit the up arrow to bring back previously used lines of code.

7 There appears to be a negative / positive relationship between explanatory variable (x-axis) and response variable (y-axis)

8 There appears to be a negative / positive relationship between explanatory variable (x-axis) and response variable (y-axis)
