GRADE 9Draw a variety of graphs by hand/technology to display and interpret data including:• Bar graphs and double bar graphs• Histograms with given and own intervals• Pie charts• Broken-line graphs• Scatter plots
o the scatter plot allows one to see trends and make predictions, as well as identify outliers in the data

GRADE 12
a) Represent bivariate data as a scatter plot and suggest intuitively and by simple investigation whether a linear, quadratic or exponential function would best fit the data
b) Use a calculator to calculate the linear regression line which best fits a given set of bivariate data
c) Use a calculator to calculate the correlation coefficient of a set of bivariate numerical data and make relevant deductions.

Bivariate Data• BIVARIATE DATA – each item in the
population has TWO measurements associated with it
• We can plot bivariate data on a SCATTER PLOT (or scatter diagram or scatter graph or scatter chart)
• The scatter graph shows whether there is an association or CORRELATION between the two variables

7) continued• Compare the Linear and Exponential
regression functions – similar results – rather use the straight line as it is simpler
• Compare the Linear and Quadratic regression functions – similar results – but part of the data may appear quadratic, but the entire set may be less symmetric.
• The Linear regression function seems to suit the given data best.

5)• As can be seen in the table, each time
the values from the linear model are closest to the measured values – so the linear model fits the data better.
