What this unit covers
A Two-Way Tables ยท 3 lessons
Goals
- Create relative frequency tables from information given in a two-way table or about a situation.
- Inspect patterns in relative frequency tables and two-way tables to determine if there is a possible association between two variables of interest.
Lessons
- Two-Way Tables
- Relative Frequency Tables
- Associations in Categorical Data
B Scatter Plots ยท 3 lessons
Goals
- Comprehend the connection between residuals, variability, and whether or not using a linear model is appropriate.
- Interpret the rate of change and vertical intercept for a linear model in the context of a situation.
Lessons
- Linear Models
- Fitting Lines
- Residuals
C Correlation Coefficients ยท 3 lessons
Goals
- Describe the strength and sign of the relationship between variables based on the correlation coefficient.
- Investigate the relationship between two variables to analyze whether or not the relationship is causal.
Lessons
