1. Senators and representatives

in a state legislature voted on a
proposed bill. Of the 50
senators, 35 voted for and 15

100 representatives, 40 voted
for and 60 voted against the
bill. Which two-way relative
frequency table best represents
the distribution of votes?

Scatter Plots and Line of Best Fit

Notes
(Glue in your INB)

The best fitting line or curve is the line

that lies as close as possible to all the
data points.
Regression is a method used to find the
equation of the best fitting line or curve.
Extrapolation – the use of the regression
curve to make predictions outside the
domain of values of the independent
variable.
Interpolation – Interpolation is used to
make predictions within the domain of
values of the independent variable.

For every canned beverage sold, there are 
0.39 cans recycled.

The y­intercept is y=1. When there is no 
canned beverage sold, there is 1 can recycled. 
It makes no sense.

Positive and fairly strong correlation

f(16) = 0.39(16) + 1
f(16) = 7.24 
approximately 7 cans 

50 = 0.39x + 1
Approximately 125 
canned beverages 
would have to be 
sold for 50 cans to be 
recycled.
