Unit 2: Exploring Two-Variable Data

Scatterplots, correlation, least-squares regression, residuals, and transformations

This section contains 5 topics with 0 subtopics, 23 practice problems and 34 flashcards. Each topic includes comprehensive written notes, worked examples with detailed solutions, and interactive lessons for hands-on practice.

Topics Covered

• Scatter Plots and Correlation — Create scatterplots and calculate the correlation coefficient r to describe linear relationships.
• Least-Squares Regression — Find and interpret the least-squares regression line (LSRL) and make predictions.
• Residuals and Residual Plots — Analyze residual plots to assess the fit of a regression model.
• Coefficient of Determination — Interpret r² as the proportion of variability explained by the regression model.
• Transformations for Linearity — Use power, logarithmic, and exponential transformations to achieve linearity.
