Test the hypothesis: The older you are, the more money you earn.
Plot the data on the scatter plot below, choosing appropriate scales and labels.
pg 331
Note: The symbol _____ is used to signal a "break" in the axis when the scale does not start at zero to avoid a large empty space in one corner of the graph.
1) Draw a line of best fit. Describe the trend in the data.
2) Does the data support the hypothesis? Give reasons to support your answer.
3) Explain why the data for ages over 65 do not correspond with the hypothesis.
4) Explain what the point (41, 35 000) represents.

SMART Board Addition: Begin the lesson with an open question
that asks students to make predictions from a given graph. Tell
them to refer to BLM 3.3.4 question #4. If a student is having
difficulty with the question, some possible question prompts
are:
· What does the graph tell you about the number of
pregnancies?
· What trends do you see in the graph?
· Could you extrapolate to predict what may happen in a later
year?
