Q1. For each scatter plot, describe the form, direction and strength of the association between the
variables.
Q2. GROWING BERRIES
The berry market is expanding. The consumption of strawberries will increase by about 2% over
the next five years. Growth of at least 7% per year is expected for blueberries, raspberries and
blackberries. The consumption of blueberries in particular will increase a lot, partly because of
the healthy image consumers have of them, which, according to Rabobank, implies many
opportunities for entrepreneurs in the berry chain. Increasingly, berries are being cultivated in
hothouses to meet the growing demands.
Experiments were run in a hothouse to determine the effect of temperature on berry production.
Sections of the hothouse were kept at different temperatures and the mass of berries produced
was then measured (the yield). The gathered data is shown in the scatter plot, along with the line
of best fit.
1
a. Use the line of best fit to estimate the yield of plants kept at 19oC.
The yield of plants kept at 19OC would be around 9.5kg
b. At what temperature would you expect a yield of 16 kg?
The temperature I would expect a yield of 16kg to be is 29oC
c. Extrapolate to determine the approximate temperature at which the bushes would
produce no berries.
The bushes will produce no berries at 6oC
Comment on how might the lowest data point affect your answer.
d. Justify if it would be sensible to extrapolate to determinate the yield for a temperature of
50oC.
Q3. The data below gives the petrol consumption figures of cars, with the same size engine,
when driven at different speeds.
a. Plot a scatter graph and draw a line of best fit.
2
b. Estimate the petrol consumption of a car travelling at 45 m.p.h.
35 m.p.g when car travelling at 45 m.p.h
c. Estimate the speed of a car whose petrol consumption is 27 m.p.g.
63 m.p.h
Q4. You have been working on a science project for 8 months. Each month, you measured the
length of a baby alligator.

axis and length on the y-axis.

d. Use the line of best fit to predict length of the alligator next September
e. Comment if this line of best fit be used to predict the length of the alligator after 10
years?
Q5. Global Context: Fairness and Development

Over half of the world’s population lives in cities. We are the only species that urbanize! We see
images of big cities and sometimes these cities look highly polluted with dismal air quality. The
air quality index (AQI) is an index for reporting air quality on a daily basis. It is a measure of
how air pollution affects one's health within a short time period. The purpose of the AQI is to
help people know how the local air quality impacts their health.
4
a. Research on the internet and collect data about the average AQI and population density of
six cities in India with population density ranging from low to medium to high.
b. Draw a scatter plot to compare the AQI and the population density of these cities ranging
in size.
c. Was this result what you would have predicted? Describe the correlation in terms of
form, direction and strength.
d. Tokyo, Japan, has an average AQI of 3µg/m³. What population density would you expect
Tokyo to have? Research the actual population density of Tokyo. Is your prediction close
to this? Discuss why there is a discrepancy.
Note: Please follow all research etiquettes while attempting this question. Please cite all sources
