Regression Analysis Teacher Resources

Students linearize data to determine if an exponential model is suitable. In this linearizing data to determine if an exponential model is suitable lesson, students graph the residuals of sets of data that appear to have an exponential...

Students explore the concept of systems of equations. In this system of equations instructional activity, students enter data into lists on their calculators about 100 meter dash times. Students plot the points using a scatter plot and...

Students identify how to use a scatterplot to compare two sets of data to determine if they are related. Then they identify and describe the definition of regression line (the "line of best fit"). Students also identify how scientists...

Scholars explore the relationship between circumference and diameter. Groups of learners measure the diameter and circumference of round objects and record their data on a given worksheet. They then input the data into their graphing...

Investigate exponential growth and decay. A set of six activities has pupils collecting and researching data in a variety of situations involving exponential relationships. They model these situations with exponential functions and solve...

Run a simulated airplane manufacturing plant with your pupils as the builders! Learners build Lego airplane models and collect data on the rate of production, comparing the number produced to the number defective. Using linear...

Ninth graders explore population growth.  In this Algebra I activity, 9th graders conduct an experiment simulating population growth.   Students create a model and relate the results to a real-world situation. ...

How do you account for multiple variables when analyzing data? Following a lesson on regression, the 33rd lesson in the Crash Course Statistics series examines the ANOVA, analysis of variances, method of determining differences...

What can math say about natural phenomena? The fifth STEM lesson in this project-based learning series asks collaborative groups to choose a phenomenon of interest and design an experiment to simulate the phenomenon. After collecting...

Most scholars associate density with floating, but how do scientists determine the exact density of an unknown liquid? The third lesson in a seven-part series challenges scholars to find the mass and volume of two unknown liquids. Each...

To complete homework or not to complete homework ... that is the question. Decide whether it makes a difference on finals by doing homework. Individuals create a scatter plot and find a line of best fit for data on the percent of...

Use math to help predict the future. Viewers of the 36th Crash Course video covering statistics hear about machine learning. They see how logistic regression, linear discriminant analysis, and K nearest neighbors are all models that help...

Do flexible circuits change dimensions during fabrication? Groups use GeoGebra software to measure the length of pictures of flexible nano-circuits. To determine if the circuits change dimensions, future engineers use Microsoft...

High schoolers study the concept of mean values using a data plot. Learners enter the given data in the activity to create their data table. They use the data table to calculate the mean of the snowfall percentage provided in the...

In this scatterplots and regressions worksheet, students solve 6 different types of problems related to graphing scatterplots and interpreting regressions. First, they create a scatterplot from the given data coordinates and then,...

In this statistics activity, 11th graders analyze different scatter plot graphs for positive, negative and no correlation. They graph their data and analyze it using scatter plots.There is 1 question with an answer key.

Seventh graders investigate how to make and set up a scatter plot. In this statistics lesson, 7th graders collect data and plot it. They analyze their data and discuss their results.

Students use real temperature data from the Chesapeake Bay, to begin to see some natural mathematical phenomena, and to begin to interpret the data mathematically.

You can reach your goals, if you're SMART about it! Teach your class to how build specific goals that include all the elements of the acronym SMART. The plan includes detailed procedures for the teacher and requires pupils to...

Over the years, data analysis has been important. Looking back to the 2004 AP® Statistics Form B free-response questions, pupils and teachers see the importance of analysis of data sets. The six questions contain analysis of data on...

Linear, quadratic, and now cubic functions can model real-life patterns. High schoolers create cubic regression equations to model different scenarios. They then use the regression equations to make predictions.

Does the media shape people's views on gender? Scholars use data on gender portrayal in magazines to explore the idea. They use a spreadsheet program to create bar graphs and perform a chi-square test. They also use provided data to...

Free-response questions form the 1998 AP® Statistics exam allow class members to analyze data from real-life situations. The situations include tracking defective parts, tracking butterflies, evaluating weed killers and determining...

Class members blend their knowledge of functions and problem-solving skills to provide business advice to the Turbo Blender manufacturers. Through a project-based approach, learners examine marginal cost data to produce a function....
