DIVIDE THE PHRASES INTO TWO GROUPS . EXPLAIN
THE GROUP YOU CREATED.

Average height of varsity players
Weight and Pulse Rate of women above 50 yrs. Old
Weight of SHS students

Consists of the values of two
variables that are obtained from
the same population of interest.
Bivariate
Data
Three combinations of variable types:
1. Both variables are qualitative (attribute).
2. One variable is qualitative (attribute) and the other
is quantitative (numerical).
3. Both variables are quantitative (both numerical).
What to do
with the two
variables?
The primary purpose of bivariate
data is to compare the two sets
of data or to find a relationship
between the two variables.
• Is caffeine related to heart damage?
• Is there a relationship between a person’s age
and his or her blood pressure?
• Is the number of hours a student studies related
to the student’s score on a particular exam?
• Is the birth weight of a certain animal related to
its life span?
TWO QUANTITATIVE
VARIABLES:
EXPRESSED AS ORDERED PAIRS: (X, Y)
X: INPUT VARIABLE, INDEPENDENT
VARIABLE (EXPLANATORY).
Y: OUTPUT VARIABLE, DEPENDENT
VARIABLE(RESPONSE).
GROUP
ACTIVITY
Using a tape measure, measure the length of the arm span
and height of all the members of the group in centimeters.
Tabulate the result.

INSTRUCTIONS:
1.Construct a graph out of the data you
collected. Present it on a scatterplot
using geogebra application.
2.Describe the direction where the points
are going?
Scatter Plot
• A scatter plot is a picture of the relationship
between two quantitative variables. If a linear
relationship exists between two variables the
scatter plot will exist as a swarm of points
stretched out in a generally consistent manner.
SCATTERPLOT
INTERPRETATION:
• If the data show an uphill pattern as you move from left to
right, this indicates a positive relationship between X and
Y. As the X-values increase (move right), the Y-values tend
to increase (move up).
• If the data show a downhill pattern as you move from left
to right, this indicates a negative relationship between X
and Y. As the X-values increase (move right) the Y-values
tend to decrease (move down).
• If the data don’t seem to resemble any kind of pattern
(even a vague one), then no relationship exists
between X and Y.
WHAT SHOULD YOU LOOK FOR IN A SCATTERPLOT?
Direction – which way are the points going?
positive, negative, neither.
Strength – how much scatter is there in the
plot?
Weak, moderate, strong
REMEMB
ER
scatterplot only suggests a linear
relationship between the two sets
of values. It does not suggest that
one variable causes the change of
the other variable.
For example, a doctor observes that people who take
vitamin C each day seem to have fewer colds. Does this
mean vitamin C prevents colds? Not necessarily. It
could be that people who are more health conscious
take vitamin C each day, but they also eat healthier, are
not overweight, exercise every day, and wash their
hands more often. If this doctor really wants to know if
it’s the vitamin C that’s doing it, she needs a well-
designed experiment that rules out these other factors.
APPLICAT
ION
Given the variable y ( response), what could
be the variable x (explanatory)
1. Number of cars
2. Number of tardiness among students
3. Ice cream sales
CORRELATION COEFFICIENT (r)
The correlation coefficient (r) gives us a numerical
measurement of the strength of the linear relationship
between the explanatory and response variables.
Where n is the number of
pairs.

A group of students conducted an experiment to see if the
height of seedlings has a relationship with its number of
leaves. They planted several seedlings and measured the
height after a certain number of weeks. The number of leaves
was also counted. Below is a table of the height of seedlings
and the number of leaves they have. Construct a scatter plot
of the results and compute the correlation coefficient of these
two variables.
