Pupils collect data from tossing a ball into the air. Using a data collection device, they graph the data, set a window, and analyze the height of the toss, how long the ball was in the air, etc. They then find an equation that models...

In this activity, students will explore finding the line of best fit based on the sum of the squares of the residuals and determine what the linear regression line is.

Video program showing how to use a scatter plot to illustrate relationship between response and explanatory variables, to determine patterns in variables, and to calculate least squares. Real-life examples -- manatee deaths per number of...

Access and explore large datasets from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES, 2003). Working with large datasets that emphasize exploration, finding patterns, and modeling is an essential first step in becoming...
