A ___________________ is a way of organizing data from two categorical variables in order to investigate the association between them.

A ___________________ is one in which a change in one of the variables causes a change in the other variable.

Two variables have a ___________________ when a line can be reasonably drawn through the points of the graph and the majority of the points follow the line closely.

The _________ is the difference between the y-value for a point in a scatter plot and the value predicted by a linear model.

The initial or “beginning” value of a situation (where the line crosses the y-axis) is called the ___________________.

A scatter plot has ___________________ when there are data points that do not fit the general pattern of the majority of the data.

A relationship between two numerical variables is a ___________________ if the data is loosely spread around the best fit line.

The ___________________ travels through the middle of the points the closest.

A ___________________ is a characteristic of individuals in a population that can take on different values.

In statistics we say that there is an ___________________ between two variables if the two variables are statistically related to each other; if the value of one of the variables can be used to estimate the value of the other.

The ___________________ is a number between -1 and 1 that describes the strength and direction of a linear association between two numerical variables.

A scatter plot has ___________________ when data points form distinct groups.
