Consumer Chronicles

By: Lydia Baker & Michell Eike | 100 minutes | Correlation Coefficient In this lesson, students learn to analyze relationships in bivariate data by exploring scatter plots and calculating the correlation coefficient. Prerequisite knowledge for this lesson includes `z`-scores using summation notation (sigma), mean (x bar), and standard deviation. Students build their understanding of describing scatter plots and the correlation coefficient through engaging activities such as watching an interview with a Data Analyst, completing card sorts to understand essential vocabulary, and constructing and interpreting scatter plots.
