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
  1. Two-Way Tables
  2. Relative Frequency Tables
  3. 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
  1. Linear Models
  2. Fitting Lines
  3. 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
