Question

The figure below is a scatterplot for paired data (x, y), with x values on the horizontal axis and y on the vertical axis. The tick marks are spaced 10 units apart on both axes. (Note that to answer the following questions you don't need the actual values for each tick mark, only differences between them.) 00 00 Oo oo 8 Oo oo (1) What are plausible values for the standard deviations of x and y, respectively? (2) What is a plausible value for the slope of the SD line? (3) Given your answer to part (b), what is a plausible value for the slope of the regression line?

Answer 1

The plausible values for the SD(x) are 6.67 and for SD(y) is 3.37, and the slope of the line is 0.5.

What is a scatter plot?

Scatter plots are graphs that represent individual points of data and are labeled with quantitative values on both the co-ordinate axes, meaning that there is only one projection on the x-axis and one projection on the y-axis for each point.

We have a scatter plot shown in the table:

1) As we can see in the scatter plot all data are within 3 standard deviations of the mean:

Standard deviation = SD

6SD(x) = 40

SD(x) = 40/6 = 6.67

6SD(y) = 20

SD(y) = 20/6 = 3.37

2) Slope of the line:

= SD(x)/SD(y) = (20/6)/(40/6) = 1/2 = 0.5

3) It is plausible to take the slope of the line as 0.5 because the slope of the line is the ratio of the change in y to the change in x.

Thus, the plausible values for the SD(x) are 6.67 and for SD(y) is 3.37, and the slope of the line is 0.5.
