- The relationship between houses and trees is: Negative, Nonlinear, Weak.
- Yes, there are outliers. The points (380, 38) and (220, 245) are outliers.
- Using a trend line, predict how many trees would be in the neighborhood if there were 300 houses: Approximately 180 trees.
- Use a trend line to predict the number of trees in a neighborhood if there are 160 houses: Approximately 350 trees.
- Which ordered pair would best fit the trend of the scatter plot? (300, 210)
- Based on the trend, if there were 180 trees, would you expect there to be more or less than 200 houses? Why? More than 200 houses, because as the number of houses increases, the number of trees generally decreases, so fewer trees correspond to more houses.
