Question #2 Correlation: Strong Negative Correlation Strong Positive Correlation Weak Negative Correlation No Correlation Weak Positive Correlation
Question #3 Choose two points from your table. Find the slope of these two points Write the equation in point-slope form using one of your two points. Transform your equation into slope-intercept form.
Scatter plots and equations of lines The trend line that shows the relationship between two sets of data most accurately is called the line of best fit. The graphing calculator gives you the correlation coefficient r, which tells you how closely the equation models the data. -1 1
Input x=33 into your equation for the line of best fit Question #5 If you guessed that a person’s age was 33, what would the exact age be based on the line of best fit? Input x=33 into your equation for the line of best fit
Input x=87 into your equation for the line of best fit Question #6 If a person’s estimated age was 87, what would the exact age be based on the line of best fit? Input x=87 into your equation for the line of best fit
Question #7 This time, y=87. Solve for x. If a person’s actual age was 54, what would have been the estimated age based upon the line of best fit? This time, y=87. Solve for x.
This time, y=(your age). Solve for x. Question #8 What is your age? Based upon your line of best fit, what would have been your estimated age? This time, y=(your age). Solve for x.
Does your scatterplot have a strong correlation? Question #10 Based on your scatterplot and your correlation coefficient, were you a good guesser or a bad guesser? Does your scatterplot have a strong correlation? Is your correlation coefficient, r, close to 1 or -1?
