Scatter Plots and Trend Lines

Standards

Standards

  • MAT-HS.S-ID.06  Represent data on two quantitative variables on a scatter plot, and describe how the variables are related. 
    • a.  Fit a function to the data; use functions fitted to data to solve problems in the context of the data. 
    • c.  Fit a linear function for a scatter plot that suggests a linear association.
  • MAT-HS.N-Q.01  Use units as a way to understand problems and to guide the solution of multi-step problems; choose and interpret units consistently in formulas; choose and interpret the scale and the origin in graphs and data displays.
  • MAT-HS.F-LE.05  Interpret the parameters in a linear, quadratic, or exponential function in terms of a context.
  • MAT-HS.S-ID.07  Interpret the slope (rate of change) and the intercept (constant term) of a linear model in the context of the data.
  • MAT-HS.S-ID.08  Compute (using technology) and interpret the correlation coefficient of a linear fit
  • MAT-HS.S-ID.09  Distinguish between correlation and causation.
