A scatter graph showing the relationship between how many hours 10 people play sport in a week and how quickly they run 10km We can see by the position of the points plotted on the graph that there seems to be a relationship between the hours playing sport and the time to run 10 km. It looks like the more hours playing sport in a week, the faster the person runs 10 km. There appears to be a relationship so a line of best fit is drawn on the graph. If we cannot see a relationship then a line of = best fit should not be drawn. 30 35 40 45 50 55 60 Time to run 10km (min) Use the line of best fit to estimate how many hours of sport someone does if they run 10 km in 55 minutes. 20: 18.
