Data & Modeling Practice
Mixed Practice A
Practice a balanced mix of scatterplot, model, residual, and table skills.
This set blends predictions, slope and intercept interpretation, correlation, and categorical association.
How to use this set
Move one question at a time. Decide whether you are reading a model, reading a graph, or comparing groups.
Models
Use y = mx + b to predict and interpret.
Residuals
Use actual - predicted accurately.
Tables
Compare row or column percentages.
Association
Separate association from causation.
A line of best fit is y=2.5x+15. What is the predicted value when x=10?
The model y=7x+12 predicts total earnings y, in dollars, after x hours. What does 7 mean?
The model y=7x+12 predicts total earnings y, in dollars, after x hours. What does 12 mean?
