Interpreting Categorical and Quantitative Data
Interpret linear models
Lessons (2)
Students are introduced to correlation between two variables and the line of best fit.
Students learn about the difference between univariate and bivariate data and understand how to choose the best graph to display the data.
Activities (4)
Enter a set of data points, then derive a function to fit those points. Manipulate the function on a coordinate plane using slider bars. Learn how each constant and coefficient affects the resulting graph.
Enter a set of data points and a function or multiple functions, then manipulate those functions to fit those points. Manipulate the function on a coordinate plane using slider bars. Learn how each constant and coefficient affects the resulting graph.
Students compare multiple independent variables as predictors of one dependent variable. Students explore correlation and lines of best-fit.
Plot a bivariate data set, determine the line of best fit for their data, and then check the accuracy of your line of best fit.
