Khan Academy: Histograms Review
A histogram displays numerical data by grouping data into "bins" of equal width. Each bin is plotted as a bar whose height corresponds to how many data points are in that bin.
Khan Academy
Khan Academy: Stem and Leaf Plots Review
A stem and leaf plot displays numerical data by splitting each data point into a "leaf" (usually the last digit) and a "stem" (the leading digit or digits).
Khan Academy
Khan Academy: Linear Regression Review
Linear regression is a process of drawing a line through data in a scatter plot. The line summarizes the data, which is useful when making predictions.

Khan Academy: Eyeballing the Line of Best Fit
Students practice informally graphing a line of best fit to a scatter plot and answer questions to determine if a scatter plot has a correlation. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to watch a video, get hints,...
Khan Academy
Khan Academy: Scatterplots and Correlation Review
A scatterplot is a type of data display that shows the relationship between two numerical variables. Each member of the dataset gets plotted as a point whose x-y coordinates relates to its values for the two variables.
