# 6) Does the plot look linear? Should it?

5. Activity 3.2a, Page 117 # 6) Does the plot look linear? Should it?
The plot should look linear as an increase of one sheet of paper adds a fixed amount to the total thickness.

6. # 8 Thickness = y-intercept + (slope)sheets
Thickness = (0.0668)sheets
What does y-intercept tell us?
What does slope tell us?
What is the estimate of the thickness of one sheet of paper?

7. # 8 Thickness = y-intercept + (slope)sheets
Thickness = (0.0668)sheets
What does y-intercept tell us? Thickness of cover as this is the thickness if no sheets are included.
What does slope tell us?
What is the estimate of the thickness of one sheet of paper?

8. # 8 Thickness = y-intercept + (slope)sheets
Thickness = (0.0668)sheets
What does slope tell us? The estimate of the thickness of one sheet of paper
What is the estimate of the thickness of one sheet of paper?

9. # 8 Thickness = y-intercept + (slope)sheets
Thickness = (0.0668)sheets
What does slope tell us? The estimate of the thickness of one sheet of paper
What is the estimate of the thickness of one sheet of paper? mm

10. # 9: Precision of Estimate
Use the information in your graph to discuss the precision of your estimate in step 8 (estimate of the thickness of one sheet of paper).

11. # 9: Precision of Estimate
Use the information in your graph to discuss the precision of your estimate in step 8.
We should recognize there are two likely sources of error:

12. # 9: Precision of Estimate
Use the information in your graph to discuss the precision of your estimate in step 8.
We should recognize there are two likely sources of error:
(1) measurement error and

13. # 9: Precision of Estimate
Use the information in your graph to discuss the precision of your estimate in step 8.
We should recognize there are two likely sources of error:
(1) measurement error and
(2) error in fitting a line through the points (based on your judgment)

14. # 9: Precision of Estimate
We expect some inaccuracy in each measurement since we are measuring to the nearest millimeter; some will be too small and some will be too large.
By using the line of best fit to estimate the slope, we are averaging out those errors.

15. # 10
How would your line have changed if you had not included the front cover?
Thickness = (0.0668)sheets

16. # 10
How would your line have changed if you had not included the front cover?
Thickness = (0.0668)sheets
The y-intercept should be very close to 0.
Why?

17. # 10
How would your line have changed if you had not included the front cover?
Thickness = (0.0668)sheets
The y-intercept should be very close to 0.
If there are 0 pages, the total thickness would be 0.

25. Line of Best Fit
Line through points with about one-half of the points above and about one-half of the points below.

26. Why Fit a Line to Set of Data?
Two main reasons to do so.

27. Two main reasons to fit a line to a set of data:
1) to find a summary or model that describes relationship between two variables

28. Two main reasons to fit a line to a set of data:
1) to find a summary or model that describes relationship between two variables
2) to use the line to predict value of y when you know value of x

29. To make a reasonable prediction using the line, what needs to be true about:
A) shape of data?
B) strength of relationship?

30. To make a reasonable prediction, what needs to be true about:
A) shape of data? linear
B) strength of relationship?

31. To make a reasonable prediction, what needs to be true about:
A) shape of data? linear
B) strength of relationship? Stronger the better

32. Variables In previous math classes:
x was called the independent variable.
y was called the dependent variable.

33. Variables
Now, the variable on the x-axis is called the __________ or __________ variable.
The variable on the y-axis is called the __________ or __________ variable.

34. Now, the variable on the x-axis is called the predictor or explanatory variable.
The variable on the y-axis is called the __________ or __________ variable.

35. The variable on the x-axis is called the predictor or explanatory variable.
The variable on the y-axis is called the predicted or response variable.

0.80 = (0.10)(1960) + b
b =

41. Find the equation for that line in slope- intercept form, y = mx + b
If we use (1960, 0.80):
0.80 = (0.10)(1960) + b

Equation is y = 0.10x –

42. Equation is y = 0.10x –
Recall, in statistics, the equation is written with y-intercept first.
So, y = x
