Given the scatter plot and the equation, what does the y-intercept mean in this context?

The amount of battery life before spending any time on phone

100

How do you determine the value of a residual?

actual value - estimated value = residual

100

What is the range of the correlation coefficient?

-1 to 1 

100

Given the line of best fit y = 2x + 4, find the estimated y for the point (5,6)

y= 14

200

Given the scatter plot and the linear equation, what does the slope mean in this context?

As the time spent on the phone increases by 1 hour, the amount of battery life decrease by 3/4 of an hour.

200

How do you determine the estimated value?

Use the equation for the line of best fit

200

-1 as a correlation coefficient indicates what kind of association?

Very strong negative (downhill) 

200
What is slope-intercept form?

y = mx + b

300

Is the following the best fit, good fit, bad fit?Explain.

Best fit, line is through the middle of the data 

300

An actual value is given in a scatter plot as (5, -11.5). An equation for a linear model is y=-3x + 2.5. What is the residual for this point?


1

300

0 as a correlation coefficient indicates what kind of association?

No association

300

If both variables increase together, what kind of association will be shown on a scatterplot?

Positive association

400

Which graph shows the most accurate line of best fit?

A

400

The actual value of a point is (1,2), the best fit equation is y=2x+1/2


Is the residual positive or negative?

Negative

400

What would be a reasonable correlation coefficient for the given graph?

0.5, 0, -0.72, 0.92

0.92, strong positive correlation

400

True or False: All residuals should be positive.

False. There should a nearly even split of positive and negative residuals for a good line of best fit

500

What is the equation for the line of best fit?

y=3/4x+1

500

A residual plot shows what about a linear model?

Whether a linear model is appropriate and the accuracy of the actual value to the estimated value. Smaller residuals indicate more accuracy 

500

Draw an example of a scatterplot that would have a correlation coefficient of 0.


500

What TWO things does the correlation coefficient tell you about a relationship?

The strength and direction
