Definitions Regression is the statistical study of the relationship between sets of data Scatterplot is a graph that helps understand the form, direction, and strength of the relation; individual points Correlation is the strength and direction of the linear relationship between two variables Correlation Coefficient is the measure of how well the data set is fit by through a model; represented by r -1 ≤ r ≤ 1 Line of Best Fit is the line that best approximates a set of data 3/2/ : Curve Fitting with Linear Models3
Steps of Curve Fitting 1.Identify and list all of the data points 2.Put data into calculator – use STAT key 3.STAT CALC and select LinReg (ax + b) to get the equation 3/2/ : Curve Fitting with Linear Models4
