Document Summary

Inaccurate values lie: telling the truth data wise but visually distorting the data in presentation, outright lie, making up data to make weak results seem stronger. Scatterplot: depicts the relation between two scale variables. Label the horizontal x-axis with the iv and possible values: 3. Label the vertical y-axis with the dv and possible values: 4. Make a mark on the graph above each study participants score on the x-axis and y- axis. Linear relation: between variables means that the relation is best described by a straight line. Nonlinear relation: relation between variables is best described by a line that breaks or curves in some way. Line graph: illustrates the relation between two scale variables. Representing either the change in a variable over time or predicting the scores. Steps for creating a scatterplot with a line of best fit: 1. Label the x-axis with the name of the iv and its values: 2.
