In Exercises $10-15,$ construct a scatter plot for the data and answer these questions: (a) Does the data appear to be linear? (b) If so, is there a positive or negative correlation? The vapor pressure $y$ of water depends on the temperature $x$ as given in the table. (TABLE CAN'T COPY)

Key Concepts

Linearity

Linearity refers to a relationship between two variables that can be approximated by a straight line. When data points in a scatter plot form a pattern that seems to follow a straight line, the relationship is said to be linear, suggesting that changes in one variable are consistently associated with changes in the other.

Correlation

Correlation describes the strength and direction of a linear relationship between two variables. A positive correlation indicates that as one variable increases, the other variable also increases, while a negative correlation implies that as one variable increases, the other decreases. This concept is crucial for interpreting the patterns displayed in scatter plots.

Scatter Plot

A scatter plot is a type of data visualization that displays values for typically two variables for a set of data points. It is used to observe and show relationships between two variables, indicate correlation trends, and identify patterns, outliers, or clusters in the data.
