Math Standards

Common Core HSS-ID.C.8 Identify which representation more likely represents a coefficient of 1, -1, and 0. Match the words strong with (correlation coefficient “r”) between 1 and -1, and weak with the number 0 (with the words strong written under 1 and -1 and weak under 0) if the correlation coefficient is closer to 1 (-1) the data has a strong correlation to the graph and x and y and if closer to 0 it is weak. Florida's B.E.S.T. standards MA.912.DP.1 Summarize, represent and interpret categorical and numerical data with one and two variables. MA.912.DP.1.3 Explain the difference between correlation and causation in the contexts of both numerical and categorical data
