Part 1 Knowledge: Multiple Choice, 1 mark each (14 marks total)

Select the most appropriate answer for the corresponding question.
1. What would be the most appropriate tool to evaluate One-Variable Data?
a) Bar-Graph/Histogram b) Scatter Plot
c) Line of Best Fit d) Two – Column Table of Values

2. What would be the most appropriate tool to evaluate Two-Variable Data?

a) Circle Graphs b) Tally-Chart
c) Scatter Plot d) Median, Mean, and Mode

3. Line of best fit can be best defined as:

a) The x-axis on a graph b) A line that passes as close as possible
to a set of plotted points
c) A line that does not mean anything d) A line that is straight that is always
pointing up regardless of the data

4. The picture below is a scatter-plot graph comparing whether temperature influences ice-
cream sales in a local grocery store. Which of the following statements accurately
describes the data?
a) As temperature increases,
ice cream sales stays the same
b) As ice cream sales increase,
the temperature goes down
c) As temperature increases,
ice cream sales increase
d) As temperature increases,
ice cream sales decrease

5. Referring to question #4, what variable is the independent variable? An independent

variable is a variable whose variation does not depend on that of another.
a) $700 b) Line of Best Fit
c) Ice Cream Sales ($) d) Temperature
6. What is the correct formula to calculate slope, m?
Let point A be defined as (x₁,y₁) and point B be defined as (x₂,y₂).
𝑟𝑖𝑠𝑒 𝑦2 −𝑦1 𝑟𝑢𝑛 𝑥2 −𝑥1
a) m = = b) m = =
𝑟𝑢𝑛 𝑥2 −𝑥1 𝑟𝑖𝑠𝑒 𝑦2 −𝑦1
𝑟𝑖𝑠𝑒 𝑦1 −𝑦2 𝑟𝑖𝑠𝑒 𝑦2 −𝑥2
c) m = = d) m = =
𝑟𝑢𝑛 𝑥1 −𝑥2 𝑟𝑢𝑛 𝑦1 −𝑥1

7. Referring to question #6, determine the slope if Point A is defined as (5, 7) and Point B is
defined as (10, 22).
a) m = 11 b) m = -11
c) m = 3 d) m = -3

8. The equation of a line is typically defined as y = mx + b, what does the variable b

indicate?
a) The Slope b) The x-intercept
c) The y-intercept d) The y-axis

9. Determine the relationship that would produce a negative correlation on a graph.

a) A baby’s height VS Time b) People in McDonald’s VS
Number of bananas eaten worldwide
c) Grades in a class VS d) Pollution in the air VS
Number of Absences Number of cars on the road

10. From the 3 graphs below, select the graph that produces no correlation.
a) b) c)

Select the independent variable for the next few questions:

11. a) Amount of Basketballs OR b) Time Spent Practicing
scored
12. a) Time OR b) Distance traveled when hiking

13. a) School class sizes OR b) Number of Teachers in the school

14. a) Temperature OR b) Ice Cream Sales

Part 2: Application (14 marks)

Does the data make sense? Yes or no? ______________

c) Determine the slope of your line of best fit: (3 marks)

d) Determine an equation of your line of best fit: (2 marks)

Part 3: Thinking (12 marks)

1. Your task is to create your own set of data points and graph the relationship. A blank T-Chart
and graph will be provided. Include all labels, a line of best fit, line breaks and appropriate units.
(8 marks)
2. Create a histogram/bargraph: Random people on the streets of Toronto were asked what their
favourite colour was. Below is a tally chart of the data collected. Be sure to include correct labels
and choose a correct scale.
(3 marks, 1 mark each for correct scaling, correct bars, labels and titles included)
Colour Amount of People (Frequency)

Red IIII
Blue IIIIIIIIII
Green IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Purple IIIIIIIIIIII
Pink I

3. Explain how an outlier of data can effect the results of a relationship/experiment. You
may provide an example to further your argument. Remember, an outlier is an
observation that lies an abnormal distance from all the other data points when graphed.
