Part of S1

Objectives

  • Scatter diagrams
  • Linear regression
  • Drawing regression line on a scatter diagram

  • Make predictions within the range of values of the explanatory variable and recognise the dangers of extrapolation
  • Variables other than x and y may be used
  • Linear change of variable may be required
  • The product moment correlation coefficient, its use, interpretation and limitations

Notes

Spec says "Calculation of the equation of a linear regression line using least squares" which we assume is a reference to understanding the component parts of the PMCC formula and being able to find them for small sets of data
