Study Notes

Scatter Plots in Algebra 1

A scatter plot visually represents the relationship between two distinct sets of data using ordered pairs.
Discrete graphs display individual points without connecting them, indicating separate data values.
Continuous graphs connect ordered pairs with a line, illustrating data that flows without breaks.

Key Concepts

A line of best fit serves as the most accurate trend line in a scatter plot, showcasing the relationship between the datasets effectively.
The correlation coefficient (r-value) ranges from -1 to 1, indicating the degree of linear relationship; -1 signifies a perfect negative correlation, 1 signifies a perfect positive correlation, while an r-value of 0 indicates no correlation.

Additional Terms

Residuals measure the difference between actual y-values from data points and the predicted y-values derived from a model.
Linear regression is a statistical method used for analyzing the relationship between two variables, resulting in a linear equation that best fits the data.
