Math Studies II 10-13-10

NO BELLRINGER!!
DUE WEDNESDAY 10/20/10
  • INTRODUCTION of the IA

Should include:

  1. Title
  2. Clear statement of the task:
  3. Hypothesis
  4. A plan ( in steps)
  5. If you have a survey or experiment make sure you attach a sample of it to your introduction.

Also DONT USE WORDS SUCH AS

  1. Causation
  2. Random

Linear Correlation

  • Used for quantitative data > get it through R-Value

We worked on pg. 581 of our text book problem number 3

  • Diagnostics on (calculator)
  • L1 = Judge A L2= Judge B
  • Enter Data in calculator
  • Then go to stat, calc, and choose nr. 4=lin.reg
  • Your results should look like this:
  • y=ax+b
  • a=1.297979798
  • b=-2.411616162
  • r2=.8883643358
  • r=.9425308142

Plug everything in the equation of a line formula given = y= 1.30x+-2.41

Then press Stat, plot 1 (on), Fix windows, and Graph it.... Now you have your graph :)

NO HOMEWORK FOR TONIGHT BUT YOU CAN START ON YOUR INTRODUCTION!!!

Question of the day: What is the difference between r2 and r?
