Math Studies Dos

Sorry it took me so long to post this. I don't have a problem for guys but if I think of one if i can actually understand what I'm doing I'll post it up. So for now, here are the notes for today.

Agenda:
I. Find Correlation Coefficient
II. Mastering Calculator
III. Your Math Project

Objective: Students will be able to find the correlation coefficient using calculators.

On your calculator go to STAT. Click on No.1: Edit. Type in the numbers below.

L1: 2, 7, 12, 4, 9, 20, 8, 3, 32
L2: 7, 20, 32, 16, 27, 58, 5, 10, 104

Once done exit out pressing 2nd then Mode. Click on STAT then go right for CALC. Click on No. 1: 1-Var Stats, press ENTER again.

X Bar should equal and rounded to 10.78.

Next hit 2nd and ENTER. Now click 2nd and 2 for L2. Press ENTER.

X Bar should equal 31.

Next press STAT then EDIT. Highlight L3. Type in L1(2nd and 1) minus 10.78. L3(1) should now equal -8.78.

Next highlight L4. Type in L2(2nd and 2) minus 31. L4(1) should now equal -24.

Next highlight L5. Type in L3(2nd and 3) times L4(2nd and 4). L5(1) should now equal 210.72.

Clear Screen(2nd and Mode) then click clear.

Now press 2nd then STAT. Go to the right to MATH. Press No. 5 for sum. Sum(L5(2nd and 5)). You should get 2396. Divide that by 9 for the number of data. Press ENTER. You should now get 266.2.

Once again press 2nd then STAT. Go to the right to MATH. Press No. 5 for sum. Sum(L4(2nd and 4) squared). Press ENTER. You should get 8114.

Again press 2nd then STAT. Go to the right to MATH. Press No. 5 for sum. Sum(L3(2nd and 3) squared). Press ENTER. You should get 745.6 round to 746.

Now square root 8114 divided by 9. You should get 30.
Again square root 746 divided by 9. You should get 9.1.

Now multiply 30 and 9.1. The answer should be 273.

R= 266.2 divided by 273. Which equals .975. Square that to get .95 as your answer.

I really don't get this part here so yeah.

Press 2nd and 0. Go down to DiagnosticOn Press ENTER and ENTER again. It should say done.

Go to STAT then go to the right for CALC. Go down to No.4 for LinReg(a+b). Press ENTER and ENTER again.
y=a+b
a=3.213710879
b=-3.636661699
r2=.948983395
r=.9741577875


HOMEWORK IS ON PAGE 582. THE PROBLEMS ARE 1-4.
