Section 5.4 Objective: Find a linear equation that approximates a set of data points. Determine whether there is a positive or negative correlation in a set of real life data.

Fitting a line to data Best-fit line- A line that represents a collection of data, even if you can’t draw a line through all of the points Sometimes there is no line of best fit

Correlation Best-fit line- A line that represents a collection of data, even if you can’t draw a line through all of the points. Sometimes there is no line of best fit Positive correlation- when the line of best fit has a positive slope Negative correlation- when the line of best fit has a negative slope No correlation- when there is no good line of best fit

Steps for finding the line of best fit Step 1: Draw the line of best fit. Step 2: pick two points on the line. Step 3: use what we learned in 5.3 to make an equation for the line.

Entry Task 01/14/2011 Figure out your neighbor’s age in months, height in inches, forearm length in inches and math grade by percent. You may need a ruler. Choose one partner to go up to the board and record your findings. For example, my stats are: 68 inches tall 9 inch forearm length 284 months old 97% in freshman algebra

Our data Pick one of the following to make a scatter plot of: forearm vs. height age vs. grade Forearm vs. grade Age vs. height After you are done making a scatter plot, see if you can find a line of best fit. Note: make sure you use tails plus

Entry Task 01/18/2011 Think back to the activity that we did on Friday. 1.) which sets of data have a positive correlation? Negative? none? 2.) what do you think the correlation would be between forearm and age? Grade and height? 3.) what are some other collections of data that might have correlations? Give an example of a positive correlation, negative correlation and no correlation.
