2 Interpreting Bar and Circle Graphs Review 1. The following bar graph shows the number of points scored by each player on the Firestorm Basketball team when they played Eastview. a) Who was the high scorer for Firestorm? b) Who was the low scorer for Firestorm? c) How many points did Firestorm score in total? d) How many more points did Laura score than Julie? e) Which two players scored almost the same number of points? f) What percentage of the team s points were scored by Laura? g) What percentage of the team s points were scored by Amy? 61

3 2. The following graph illustrates the interests of teenage newspaper readers. a) If about 7000 teens read the newspaper in Belleville every day, how many would: i) read the sports ii) read the news iii) read the comics b) How does a circle graph make interpreting the data much easier? 62

4 Dependent (Effect) vs. Independent (Cause) Variables When you analyse different situations and you wish to represent them by using graphs, you must decide which is the independent variable (the condition which is being controlled in a systematic fashion by the person who is conducting the experiment) and which is the dependent variable (the condition being measured). In the following situations, identify the independent (I) and dependent (D) variables and draw a sketch of what the graph would look like with the proper axis. Scenario Identify Dependent (Effect) and Independent (Cause) Variables Rough Sketch (label each axis and draw relationship) Scenario Identify Dependent (Effect) and Independent (Cause) Variables Rough Sketch (label each axis and draw relationship) The length of hair The position of the needle on a speedometer Time The speed of a vehicle The distance travelled The number of days to finish the job The wear on the tires The number of workers needed The number of dollars earned The cost of a purchase at McDonald s The number of hours worked The number of hamburgers The distance traveled The number of pizzas The amount of gas left in the tank The number of guests 63

5 Scatter Plot Diagrams A Scatter Plot Diagram is used to show if two variables are related. Example: The following chart shows the percentage of the population that lived in urban centres in Canada since Year Percent of Population in Urban Centres Use the information to plot the points on the following grid. Comparison of Years and Population of Urban Centres % of Population in Urban Centres Year 64

6 Things to Note: 1) The break in the line to show the portion of the graph that contains the data. 2) Always give the graph a title and label the axes. 3) When graphing the independent variable is placed on the horizontal axis. Based on what you see in the graph, is there a relationship between the year and the percentage of the population that lives in urban centres? Explain your answer. How could you use a scatter plot diagram and a survey in your class to determine if there is a relationship between height and foot size in the general student population. 65

7 Line of Best Fit A line that approximates a trend for the data in a scatter plot is called a line of best fit. The line of best fit is used to help you make predictions. The following table shows the life expectancy (in years) for people born in different years. Year of Birth Life Expectancy Make a scatter plot diagram from the data. 66

8 A line of best fit shows the pattern and direction of the points on a scatter plot. A line of best fit passes through as many points as possible, with the remaining points grouped equally above and below the line. Draw a line of best fit on the scatter plot that you created. A line of best fit can be used to make predictions for values not actually recorded in the data. When the prediction involves a point within the range of values of the independent variable, this is called interpolating. When the value of the independent variable falls outside the range of recorded data, it is called extrapolating. Use your scatter plot and line of best fit to predict the life expectancy for people born in... a) 1978 is this interpolating or extrapolating? b) 1994 is this interpolating or extrapolating? 67

11 FOOTPRINTS You have just been awakened from a deep sleep by the sound of an intruder trying to get into your home. Fortunately, the intruder discovered that the house was not empty and left. When the police arrive they find some footprints and wonder if this can help them put together a description of the suspect. 150 cm 40 cm In your groups decide What would your group like to find out about the suspect? What data will you need? One question that we would like help with is: 70

12 Length of Foot Length of Stride Height 71

13 Suspect Profile Report A. Evidence for the case Foot length: Stride length: B. Focus of the investigation Our team investigated C. Results of the investigation The results of our investigation determined that the suspect D. Process of the inquiry Describe what you did to solve this problem. Note: All information to support your conclusions must be submitted with this report. 72

14 Forensic Analysis Scatter Plot Anthropologists and forensic scientists use data to help them determine information about people. Often only a few bones are available or the evidence is in inconclusive. In spite of these difficulties, by accessing the information in large databases and investigating relationships between data scientists can determine information about the height, age, and sex of the person they are examining. 1. Use the table below to construct a graph. Radius (cm) Humerus (cm) Circle the point on the graph that represents the data for a radius that is 21.9 cm long. How long is the humerus?. 3. Put a box around the point on the graph that represents the data for a humerus that is 27.1 cm long. How long is the radius?. 4. Underline the statement that describes the direction of the plotted points in the graph? The plotted points rise upward to the right. The plotted points fall downward to the right. The plotted points are scattered across the graph. The plotted points lie flat along the horizontal. 5. As the length of the radius gets longer, what happens to the length of the humerus? 6. Do you think that you can use the length of the radius to predict the length of the humerus? Explain. 7. Do you think that you can use the length of the humerus to predict the length of the radius? Explain. 73

15 Making Scatter Plots With the Ti-83 Graphing Calculator The first step (after turning the calculator on) is to press the STAT key on the calculator. When you do this the screen will look like the screen on the sample calculator pictured to the right. Press the ENTER key to get the screen with the columns for entering the data. There are a number of columns on this screen. We will be using L1 and L2. If there is information already there, use the arrow keys to move the cursor to the L1 title then press CLEAR followed by ENTER to clear the list. Enter the following information into the lists. You enter the data by positioning the cursor on the symbol on the list, keying in the number and then pressing ENTER. L L When you finish entering the data the screen will look like the image to the right. Now you are ready to create a scatter plot. The first thing to ensure is that the window that the calculator displays will show your data. Press the blue WINDOW button just below the screen of the calculator. The screen that appears allows you to change the minimum and maximum values that will display on the graph. 74

16 The L1 data represents the x values (independent variable) for your graph. The smallest value is 2 and the largest is 10 so you might want to choose Xmin = 0 and Xmax = 15 for your scale. For L2 (the y values/dependent variable) the range is 6 to 21 so choose Ymin = 0 and Ymax = 25. Your screen should look like the one below. Note: the Xscl and Yscl values are for drawing the scale and should be set to 1 for this example. Once the window is set to the specified range press the 2 nd key followed by the Y = key to get into the STAT PLOT mode. The screen will look like. If any of the plots say Plot1 On (or 2 or 3) then use the arrow keys to move down to PlotsOff and then hit ENTER twice. You will then have to go back into the STAT PLOT mode. Press ENTER to select Plot1 and the screen will look like. Use the arrow keys to move to On and press ENTER. Also select the Type and Mark as shown in the diagram. You should have Xlist set to L1 and Ylist set to L2. If they are not, move to the specified position and choose 2 nd 1 (to select L1) or 2 nd 2 to select L2. You should now be ready to graph the scatter plot. However, before you do, press the blue Y= key and delete (move the cursor to each equation and press CLEAR) any formulas that may have been left in the calculator. To see the final product press the blue GRAPH key. and your screen should look like the to the right. 75

17 Adding a line of best fit to your scatter plot. Select the STAT key again and use the cursor to move over the CALC option. Use the cursor to move down to the LinReg(ax + b) option as shown in the diagram to the right and then press ENTER. You will get a line that reads LinReg(ax+b) followed by a blinking cursor. You need to enter the following sequence of keys in order to create your line of best fit on the calculator. 2 nd key, 1 key, comma key, 2 nd key, 2 key, comma key, VARS key After you hit the VARS key the screen will look like the one on the left below. Move the cursor over the Y-VARS heading to get the screen on the right then hit ENTER to select the Function option. The final step in the function option is to make sure the cursor is on the 1 and press ENTER twice. This will show you the following screen which is the equation for the line of best fit. Now press the GRAPH key again to show your scatter plot with the line of best fit added in. Try hitting the TRACE key to move along the line and read off different values (you may need to hit the down arrow key before using the left and right arrow keys to move along the line of best fit. 76

18 Graphing Calculator Scatter Plot Exercise The following table shows the winning times for the men s and women s 100m Olympic sprint. Year Men Women Year Men Women Year Men Women ) Create a scatter plot diagram for both the men and women on the same grid using the calculator. Use the year as the independent variable (put in L1) and the time run as the dependent variable (L2 for men and L3 for women). 2) Add a line of best fit for each situation. 3) Based on your graph, what year will the men run 8.0 seconds to win the 100m? 4) Will the women ever run as fast as the men (based on your equations and lines of best fit)? Explain. 77

23 Using What You Have Discovered Deep Sea Divers The table shows data collected as divers descend below sea level. Calculate the first differences. Use the first differences to determine if the relationship is linear or non-linear. Check your solution by graphing. Time (min) Depth (m) First differences The relationship is: Hot Air Ballooning The table shows data collected as a hot air balloon leaves the ground. Calculate the first differences. Use the first differences to determine if the relationship is linear or non-linear. Check your solution by graphing. Time (sec) Height (m) First differences The relationship is: 82

24 Calculating First Differences Summary You can calculate whether a relation is linear or non-linear by looking at the differences between the values in a table. To calculate the first differences you subtract the value of each of the dependent variables from the one that occurs just before it in the table (this means that you start with the second one). The values for the independent variables must go in order and have the same distance between them (eg 1,2,3,4,5,... is ok but 1, 4, 10, 12, 21 is not). Example 1: Independent Dependent Variable First Difference Variable = = 5... and so on Draw a graph of this relation with the independent variable along the bottom (where you always place the independent variable!). Your graph should be a straight line which is a linear relationship. Example 2: Independent Dependent Variable First Difference Variable = = and so on Draw a graph of this relation with the independent variable along the bottom (where you always place the independent variable!). Your graph won t be a straight line this time so this relationship is non-linear You can tell whether a relationship is linear or non-linear by drawing the graph or by looking at the first differences. First Differences are all the same = Linear First Differences are different = Non-Linear 83

25 First Differences 1. For each of the following relationships, create a table of values and calculate the first differences. State whether the relationship is linear or non-linear. a) y = x + 3 b) m = n 2 5 x y 1 st diff n m 1 st diff c) b = a 10 d) 2 a b 1 st diff y = 5 x 3 x y 1 st diff

26 Relationships Performance Task - Sunflowers Roxanne, Jamal, Leslie, and Ada did a group project on sunflower growth for their biology class. They investigated how different growing conditions affect plant growth. Each student chose a different growing condition. The students started their experiment with plants that were 10 centimetres tall. They collected data every week for five weeks. At the end of five weeks, they were to write a group report that would include a table, a graph, and a story for each of the four growing conditions. Unfortunately, when the students put their work together, the pages were scattered, and some were lost. This page shows the tables, graphs, and written reports that were left. Find which table, graph and written report belong to each student. Create the missing tables, graphs, and reports. A Time (weeks) Height (centimetres) C Time (weeks) Height (centimetres) D Sunflowers 45 Height Scatter Plot Time B Sunflowers 45 Height Time E I planted my sunflower in a shady place. The plant did grow, but not so fast. The length increased every week by equal amounts. Roxanne F I put my plant in poor soil and didn t give it much water. It did grow a bit, but every week less and less. Leslie Scatter Plot G I treated my sunflower very well. It had sun, good soil and I even talked to it. Every week it grew more than the week before. Jamal 85
