Module 8 (Part 1) is part of Unit 3. Unit 3 begins with Module 8 (Part 1) and concludes with the Unit 3 Checkpoint at the end of Module 9.

Module 8 - Scatterplots and linear Coefficient r

Use a scatterplot to display the relationship between two quantitative variables. Describe the overall pattern (form, direction, and strength) and striking deviations from the pattern.

Use a correlation coefficient to describe the direction and strength of a linear relationship. Recognize its limitations as a measure of the relationship between two quantitative variables.

Distinguish between correlation and causation. Identify confounding variables that may explain an observed relationship.
