Knowledge
Students know:
- Representations for bivariate data and techniques for constructing each (e.g., tables, scatter plots).
Skills
Students are able to:
- Construct a scatter plot to represent a set of bivariate data.
- Use mathematical vocabulary to describe and interpret patterns in bivariate data.
Understanding
Students understand that:
- Using different representations and descriptors of a data set can be useful in seeing important features of the situation being investigated.
- Negative association in bivariate data can be a very strong association but is an inverse relationship.
Vocabulary
- Scatter plots
- Bivariate measurement data
- Clustering
- Outliers
