8.6 Associations in Data

I can organize data to see patterns more clearly.

I can draw a scatter plot to show data that has two paired variables.

I can describe the meaning of a point in a scatter plot in context.

I can pick out outliers on a scatter plot.
I can use a model to predict values for data.

I can draw a line to fit data in a scatter plot.
I can say whether data in a scatter plot has a positive or negative association (or neither).

I can use the slope of a line fit to data in a scatter plot to say how the variables are connected in real-world situations.

I can pick out clusters in data from a scatter plot.
I can use a scatter plot to decide if two variables have a linear association.

I can analyze a set of data to determine associations between two variables.

I can identify the same data represented in a bar graph, a segmented bar graph, and a two-way table.
I can use a two-way frequency table or relative frequency table to find associations among variables.

I can create relative frequency tables, bar graphs, and segmented bar graphs from frequency tables to find associations among variables.

I can collect data and analyze it for associations using scatter plots, two-way tables, and segmented bar graphs.
