O Level Mathematics 4024 · Statistics. 1 Draw and interpret scatter diagrams. 2 Understand what is meant by positive, negative and zero correlation. 3 Draw by eye, interpret and use a straight line of best fit. Plotted points should be clearly marked, for example as small crosses (×). A line of best fit: should be a single ruled line drawn by inspection should extend across the full data set does not need to coincide exactly with any of the points but there should be a roughly even distribution of points either side of the line over its entire length.
