In a study of a city, the population density, p (people/hectare), and the distance from the city centre,

d (km) was investigated by selecting number of sample areas with the following results.

Area A B C D E F G H
Distance, d (km) 0.6 3.8 3.0 2.0 1.5 1.8 3.4 0.9
Population density, p (people/hectare) 50 22 20 33 47 25 8 38

(a) Using a scale of 4cm to represent 1km on the horizontal axis and a scale of 2cm to represent 5
people/ hectare on the vertical axis, plot a scatter diagram of distance, d (km) and population
density, p (people/hectare)
(b) It is thought that distance and population density might be correlated. State whether there is
evidence to support this assumption. If there is, state whether the correlation is positive or
negative.
(c) On the scatter diagram draw the line of best fit.
Use the line of best fit to find the distance of an area form the city centre where the
population density is 35 people/hectare
