why should you be careful while using Extrapolation?

the farther you get from the original data set, the less accurate the data becomes.

what does the equation y=5x+7 mean?

this equation means that the line of best fit starts at (0,7) and goes up by 5 y units for every x unit.

What is Bivariate Data?

What is a data set that involves two variables

500

True or False:if the correlation coefficient "r" is negative (ex: -0.67) there is no correlation

false

If the data set is measuring amount of Ice cream sales during summer, and x represents degrees increased and y represents the amount of Ice creams sold, what would the equation y= 2x+1 mean

the line of best fit starts at 1 ice cream sold, and for every degree the temperature increases 2 extra ice creams are sold.
