Warm Up For each of the following, briefly (~5 words) describe the suspected relationship using DFS. Skip context. 1. Age at death and weekly cigarette consumption 2. Distance to destination and cost of flight 3. Number of letters in a person s name and their shoe size 4. Miles driven and price for used cars 5. Price and number of pages of a textbook tinyurl.com/602housesurvey
Notes Correlation coefficient r 1 of 3 Measures the direction and strength of the association between two quantitative variables -1 r 1 -1 Perfect negative 0 No association at all 1 Perfect positive Warnings: Not resistant to outliers. Does not guarantee linearity. Use only with a graph. Does not imply causation.
Window/Door For each of the following pairs of variables, guess the correlation coefficient (r). 1. Age at death and weekly cigarette consumption 2. Distance to destination and cost of flight 3. Number of letters in a person s name and their shoe size 4. Miles driven and price for used cars 5. Price and number of pages of a textbook

1. What is slope? 2. What is the y-intercept?
Notes 3 of 3 Regression Line Also called Least-squares line , line of best fit Minimizes the sum of the squared deviations of predicted and observed values Describes how a response variable y changes as an explanatory variable x changes Used to predict y, given a value for x a slope or constant For every 1 [x], [y] goes up by _____. b y-intercept or amount When [x] is 0, [y] is ______. EXAMPLE. Handspan and height (Geogebra) ? = ?? + ? Identify x and y!
P.1 y = 1.81x + 51.44
P.3 y = 2.5x + 45.92

Window/Door Briefly describe what the slope and y-intercept mean in context. 1. On your recent Unit 2 test, the relationship between your expected and actual scores was y = 0.5781x + 11.007, where expected scores is your explanatory variable. 2. From your survey data, the relationship between hours of sleep and GPA is y = -0.0028x + 3.6526, where sleep is your explanatory variable. 3. From your survey, the relationship between the hours you spent on a computer the last day of summer, and average hours studying per week, is y = 0.4897x + 5.6385, where hours on computer is the explanatory variable. 4. In 2012, the relationship between birth and death rates per 1000 people in all fifty US states was y = -0.3362x + 13.1295, where birth rates is the explanatory variable.
Project time? Read the Project #2 handout. Ask me questions as needed. Choose your topic. Decide what your two quantitative variables are going to be. Plan to collect data this weekend.
