ke scatter Plots -Make lines of best fit -Understand residuals -Correlation TWWSAW -Scatter Plot -Correlation -Positive/negative -Direct/Inverse variance 5 anticipatory set Good morning. oda!" #e #ill be learning about t$e %models& 'art of t$e linear models unit. oda!&s goals are to make a scatter 'lot" a line of best fit" to understand residuals" and to understand t$e idea of correlations. ($at #e&re going to do toda!" in a moment" but not !et" is to collect data about !our classmates and 'ut t$em onto a scatter 'lot. )ut first" I&ll tell !ou #$at a scatter 'lot is and s$o# !ou some e*am'les.+ -I go to t$e #$iteboard and dra# a set of a*es. ! Teac"er inp#t $ modelin%

So" a scatter 'lot" like most 'lots" belongs on a set of a*es. ($at it is" t$oug$" is ,ust a collection of 'oints. $ere is usuall! no line" and #e don&t connect t$e dots. -ust t$e 'oints" sort of scattered onto t$e gra'$. $at&s #$! #e call it a scatter 'lot.+ -I make scattered 'oints on t$e a*es on t$e board .o#" t$e 'oints in a scatter 'lot sometimes follo# a trend. Some go u' /draw the example0 and some go do#n /draw the example0 and some $ave no trend at all /draw the example0. If I said t$e #ord correlation" #ould !ou kno# #$at I&m talking about1 alk to !our 'artners" give !ourselves some t$ink time" #$at does t$is #ord mean2 correlation1+ /&aited0 -CFU and #ait for res'onses" calling on students after ade3uate #ait time -t$is #ill var! de'ending on t$e class $e trends are called correlations. Correlations can be eit$er 'ositive or negative. $e! can also not e*ist. .o#" #$at kind of correlation do !ou t$ink goes #it$
