Data analysis B
Identify and describe numerical datasets involving 2 variables
  • Distinguish between situations involving 1-Loading  and 2-variable Loading  and explain when each is needed

  • Explain the difference between variables that have an association and variables that have a Loading  relationship

  • Identify and describe the Loading  and Loading  in relationships with possible cause and effect

Represent datasets involving 2 numerical variables, using a scatter plot and a line of best fit, by eye
  • Gather Loading  on a topic of interest involving 2 Loading 

  • Represent the data using a Loading 

  • Create a Loading , by eye, on an existing scatter plot

Interpret data involving 2 numerical variables, using graphical representations
  • Describe informally the association between 2 numerical variables and apply terminology about form (linear), strength (strong, moderate or weak) and direction (positive or negative)

  • Use the line of best fit, by eye, to make predictions between known data values (Loading ) and what might happen beyond known data values (extrapolation)

  • Explain the limitations of the model when making predictions
