The statistics resource explores scatter plots and correlation. Students learn about the concepts through notes and detailed examples. The resource consists of practice exercises to check for comprehension of the topics.

Given an experimental situation, the student will write linear functions that provide a reasonable fit to data to estimate the solutions and make predictions.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Use a calculator to create a scatter plot and to determine the equation of the line of best fit.

Dozens of statistical terms are defined and illustrated in this glossary.

An interactive program where students will explore regression lines. Students will be introduced to the correlation coefficient and come to understand what it represents through the given exploration. Requires Java.
