there is
because
(select)
(selcet)
there is an outlier in the data
there is a cluster in the data
as the math rating increases the teacher rating increases
as the math rating increases the teacher rating decreases
seans classmates like math and how much they like their math teacher
teacher rating
math rating
Step1: Analyze the scatter - plot
In a scatter - plot, an outlier is a data point that is far from the general pattern of the data. A cluster is a group of data points that are close together.
Looking at the given scatter - plot of Math Rating vs Teacher Rating:
- There is no clear cluster (a group of points close together) that is distinct from the rest of the data in a non - random way.
- The first point (at Teacher Rating = 1 and Math Rating = 1) is far from the general pattern of the other points. As Teacher Rating increases from 2 to 5, the Math Ratings for most of the points follow a certain (albeit not a perfectly linear) pattern. But the point at (1,1) does not follow this pattern.
Step2: Check the relationship between Math Rating and Teacher Rating
If we assume a general trend (ignoring the outlier), as the Teacher Rating increases (from 2 to 5), the Math Rating also has an increasing tendency. For example, at Teacher Rating = 2, Math Rating = 2; at Teacher Rating = 3, Math Rating = 2 and 3; at Teacher Rating = 4, Math Ratings = 3 and 4; at Teacher Rating = 5, Math Ratings = 4 and 5.
