Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Correlation Coefficient		y tends to DECREASE as x INCREASES
No Correlation		a number from -1 to 1 that measures how well a line fits the set of data plotted on the scatter plot (denoted by r)
Negative Correlation		means that one thing will cause the other
Correlation		y tends to INCREASE as x INCREASES
Scatter Plot		A statistical way to measure the relationshp between two sets of data. It means that both things are observed at the same time.
Causation		often used to present bivariate quantitative data. Each variable is represented on an axis and the axes are labeled accordingly.
Positive Correlation		a straight line on a scatter plot that comes closest to all the dots on the graph.
Residual Value		x and y seem to have NO relationship, or the data shows no pattern
Line of Best Fit		the actual value minus the predicted value

Match the correlation coefficient to each picture.

1, strong positive correlation
0.8, moderately strong positive correlation
0.5, weak positive correlation
-0.5, weak negative correlation
-1, strong negative correlation
-0.8, moderately strong negative correlation
