Practice Correlation After Midterm 3 PDF

1. The document presents a lesson on examining correlations between variables from scatter plots and calculating correlation coefficients. It includes examples of scatter plots comparing different variable pairs and determining if they are positively, negatively, or not correlated. 2. Students are asked to analyze scatter plots and data to determine correlation, select best fit lines, calculate correlation coefficients, and predict values. 3. Questions assess understanding of correlation, interpreting scatter plots, identifying outliers and their impact on correlation, and using correlation coefficients to account for variation and make predictions.
