Quiz Tomorrow!

Tonight please complete the "Pop Quiz: Interpreting Bivariate Statistics" worksheet provided in class (or below)!
  • This was the original version of your quiz! If you can interpret the values in 2a-d correctly you should be ready to ace tomorrow's quiz!
  • You will have to read a computer output tomorrow to determine the values of slope, intercept, and R^2.
  • For #1 (this is not on your quiz tomorrow) you should check that both variables are quantitative and create a scatterplot to see if it's roughly linear
  • I will not check this homework; this is your practice so that you can get an A tomorrow! 15 minute quiz to start class!


Here are the questions:


And here's the answer key so you can check your work:
  • You didn't have question 3 on your homework but feel free to check it out if you're curious!



Tomorrow in class we'll start to get into our last main idea for this chapter--we have to learn lots about residuals...
  • How do we calculate residuals?
  • How do we graphically represent a residual?
  • What does a +/- residual tell us?
  • How do we create residual plots? 
    • How do we read residual plots? What do we use them for?
  • How do we determine if a linear model is appropriate?
