Would you rather give up showering for a month or give up the internet for a month?
Would you rather get the hiccups every other hour or have to end every sentence you speak with “I do declare”?
Solve It! The table shows the number of digital albums downloaded per year and the number of CDs sold by manufacturers per year. What relationship exists between the two sets of data? In other words, as the number of downloads increases, is there a predictable change in the other?
You may use Desmos Graphing Calculator to answer the questions.
Solve It! Predict the number of CDs sold and the number of albums downloaded in 2010. Explain your reasoning.
Using Desmos Calculator, make a scatter plot of the data in the table.
Find the equation for the line of best fit:
What is the correlation coefficient (r):
Problem 1 Got It? What type of relationship does the scatter plot you created in the previous item show?
What does it mean if the correlation coefficient (r) of a data set is close to 1? You may use the canvas to help illustrate your written response.
What does it mean if the correlation coefficient of a data set is close to 0?
Make a scatter plot of the data.
Draw an appropriate trend line,
Write an equation of the trend line.
Be sure to include relevant graph detail: label axes, indicate units and scale on both axes, and use arrows to represent end behavior, as appropriate.
Consider your scatter plot and the data in the previous item. What type of relationship is shown?
Consider your scatter plot and the data once more. Predict the average maximum daily temperature in January at a latitude of 50° N.
Choose the most reasonable prediction.
Create a scatter plot that represents the data and draw the trend line.
YOU CAN CREATE ON DESMOS AND NOT HERE.
Describe the correlation (strength and direction) of the scatter plot above.
What does the slope of the trend line tell you about the relationship between the variables (interpret the slope)?
