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.

Mixed data review

A steady checkpoint before the deeper mixed set.

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.

Mixed Review A

Check your answer first, then reveal the explanation when you want the model.

Question 1

Prediction

A line of best fit is y=2.5x+15. What is the predicted value when x=10?

Question 2

Slope in context

The model y=7x+12 predicts total earnings y, in dollars, after x hours. What does 7 mean?

Question 3

Y-intercept in context

The model y=7x+12 predicts total earnings y, in dollars, after x hours. What does 12 mean?

Question 4

Residual

A student predicted 88 points, but the actual score was 91 points. What is the residual?

Question 5

Correlation

Which r-value shows the strongest linear relationship?

Question 6
