Scatter Plots | Worksheet - Free Printable

Let’s go step by step to solve each scatter plot.

---

First Scatter Plot (left):

- Look at the points: as you move from left to right (x increases), the points generally go upward (y increases).
- That means there is a positive association.
- Now check for an outlier: all points seem to follow the same upward trend — no point is far away from the group.
→ So, no outlier.

Answer for first graph:
✔ Positive association
✘ No outlier

---

Second Scatter Plot (right):

- Look at the points: as x increases, y does not consistently increase or decrease. The points are scattered randomly — some up, some down, no clear pattern.
- That means no association.
- Check for outlier: look at the top-right area — there’s one purple dot that is far above and to the right of the main cluster of teal dots. It doesn’t fit with the rest.
→ So, yes, there is an outlier (the purple dot).

Answer for second graph:
✔ No association
✔ Outlier present (circle the purple dot)

---

Final Answer:

Left graph:
Association: Positive
Outlier? No

Right graph:
Association: No association
Outlier? Yes → Circle the purple dot in the upper right.
