DATA POINTS TO BE USED ARE ATTACHED.AN EXAMPLE PROJECT (TEMPLATE TO FOLLOW) IS ATTACHED.Instructions For this assignment, collect data exhibiting a relatively linear trend, find the line of best fit, plot the data and the line, interpret the slope, and use the linear equation to make a prediction. Also, find r2 (coefficient of determination) and r (correlation coefficient). Discuss your findings. (LR-1) Describe your topic, provide your data, and cite your source. Collect at least 8 data points. Label appropriately. (LR-2) Plot the points (x, y) to obtain a scatterplot. Use an appropriate scale on the horizontal and vertical axes and be sure to label carefully. (LR-3) Find the line of best fit (regression line) and graph it on the scatterplot. State the equation of the line. (LR-4) State the slope of the line of best fit. Carefully interpret the meaning of the slope in a sentence or two. (LR-5) Find and state the value of r2, the coefficient of determination, and r, the correlation coefficient. Discuss your findings in a few sentences. Is r positive or negative? Why? Is a line a good curve to fit to this data? Why or why not? Is the linear relationship very strong, moderately strong, weak, or nonexistent? (LR-6) Choose a value of interest and use the line of best fit to make an estimate or prediction. Show calculation work. (LR-7) Write a brief narrative of a paragraph or two. Summarize your findings and be sure to mention any aspect of the linear model project (topic, data, scatterplot, line, r, or estimate, etc.) that you found particularly important or interesting. You may submit all of your project in one document or a combination of documents, which may consist of word processing documents or spreadsheets or scanned handwritten work, provided it is clearly labeled where each task can be found. Projects are graded on the basis of completeness, correctness, ease in locating all of the checklist items, and strength of the narrative portions.
