Lesson 232 of 1524
Project 3: Two-Variable Statistics
Collect data, create a linear model to fit the data, determine if the linear model is a good fit, and use the information from my linear model to answer questions
Practice this chapterCollect data, create a linear model to fit the data, determine if the linear model is a good fit, and use the information from my linear model to answer questions An anthropologist finds a fossilized humerus bone of an ancient human ancestor.
The humerus is an arm bone running from the shoulder to the elbow. In this culminating project, you will integrate ideas from the unit as you collect, summarize, interpret, and draw conclusions from bivariate data using scatter plots, best fit lines, and correlation coefficients
linear model — a good fit, and use the information from my linear model to answer questions. humerus — an arm bone running from the shoulder to the elbow.
Worked example
What does “linear model” mean in Project 3: Two-Variable Statistics?
- 1Use the wording this chapter gives for linear model.
- 2The book says: a good fit, and use the information from my linear model to answer questions.
- 3Do not use the meaning of humerus. That term means an arm bone running from the shoulder to the elbow.
Result: a good fit, and use the information from my linear model to answer questions
Why. That is the meaning this chapter gives for linear model.
Do not swap linear model and humerus. linear model means a good fit, and use the information from my linear model to answer questions. humerus means an arm bone running from the shoulder to the elbow.
