Bivariate Data Unit
Statistics with Bivariate Data
Term | Definition |
---|---|
bivariate data | data relating two quantitative variables that can be represented by a scatterplot |
data | information that is collected about people, events, or objects |
discrete paired data | data that involves only distinct values that are finite or countable |
graph | a visual representation of the relationships between data collected |
linear relationship | a relationship with a constant rate of change represented by a graph that forms a straight line |
scatterplot | a graphical representation used to display the relationship between discrete data pairs |
slope | the steepness of a line; rate of change in y (vertical) compared to the change in x (horizontal), rise/run, or change in y-values/change in x values, or (y2-y1)/(x2-x1), denoted as m in y=mx+b |
trend line | a line that best fits the data points of a scatterplot |
unit rate | a ratio between two different units where one of the terms is 1 |
y-intercept | y coordinate of a point at which the relationship crosses the y-axis meaning the x coordinate is equal to zero, denoted as b in y=mx+b and the ordered pair (0, b) |
origin | (0, 0) |
direct variation | a linear relationship between two variables, x (independent) and y (dependent), that always has a constant unchanged ratio, k, and can be represented by y = kx |
prediction | using data already taken/ given to make an accurate educated guess about what the future could hold |
