a) Positive or negative correlation? ___________________ d) Predict sales if the temperature is :
(2, 4), (3, 5), (4, 7), (5, 8), (6, 9), (7, 12), (8, 14) shoe size, years of education vs
c) If x = 8, what is the predicted y-value? ___________________ Find a set of real-world bivariate data online or in another class (e.g., height vs. shoe size, years of education vs. salary). Create a small scatter plot and draw a line of best fit. Write the equation and one prediction. Teacher’s Tip: For questions involving drawing, encourage students to use a ruler and aim for a line that has roughly the same number of points above and below it.
