Exercise 11A — Scatterplots

4 a
b The greater the English mark, the greater the
history mark, generally. However, as the points on
the scatterplot do not form a straight line, the
relationship is not linear.
5 a
b The greater the temperature, the fewer pies are
sold. The points on the scatterplot approximate a
straight line and so the relationship can be said to
be linear.
6 a
b More workers on the team reduces the amount of
time taken to unload the ship and, as the points on
the scatterplot approximate a straight line, the
relationship is linear.

Note: Your answers to questions 2 to 8 may vary slightly
because you are using the ‘eye’ method.
1 a Seasonal
b Random
c Secular, upwards
d Random or cyclical
e Cyclical
2 Definite secular trend
downward
3 Although there are some
random variations, the trend
could also be secular.
4 Prediction is about $5.40
(see dotted line at right).
This price is an extrapolated
value (outside the plotted
values) and can only be
treated as an approximate
value at best.
5 Impossible to fit a trend line, given cyclical nature of
the data.
6 a b Prediction for t = 25
is about $92.
7 Difficult to fit an
accurate trend line, due
to likely cyclical nature
of software sales
business.
8 At current rate
(about 300/month),

employees in

Although not likely,
