2. Introduction to Linear Data Analysis
Using a collection of eight scatterplots, students determine graphs of
lines or curves that might be appropriate models to describe bivariate
data. Data that associates the length of a spring with the weight hung
from the spring is used to find the linear regression line. Interpret
the slope and the y-intercept of the line, and forecast other ordered
pairs from the linear model.
