Learning Menu Assignment

This document provides a menu for a linear regression assignment with objectives, directions, and options for appetizers, entrees, and desserts. The objectives are for students to understand how to use and interpret linear regression lines and statistical output involving linear regression. For the assignment, students must choose one activity from each category: appetizers includes reviewing concepts of linear regression or writing about extrapolating with regression; entrees includes analyzing NBA player statistics or student survey data to interpret associations using regression; desserts includes creating a quiz about regression or a Venn diagram comparing correlation and determination coefficients.

Linear Regression Assignment Menu

Objectives:
● Students will understand how to use a linear regression line
● Students will practice using the calculator to compute and interpret statistical output involving linear regression
● Students will be able to interpret the slope and y-intercept of the regression line

Directions:
● Choose ONE activity in each category: Appetizers, Entrees, and Desserts.

Menu
Appetizers
1 Watch this short video on linear regression to review important concepts from last class: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPG4NjIkCjc
and then write a short summary about the how linear regression is used in real life

2 Write a short paragraph regarding the pros and cons of using linear regression for extrapolating (include real life examples)

Entrees
1 Find and partner and choose 20 NBA players and research their statistics regarding average turnover and points per game. Use the
gathered info to create a scatterplot, a linear regression equation, and a residual plot. Then write a summary regarding the association
between the two variables using your graphs and equation as justification. Be sure to mention if a regression line is even appropriate for the
data. (1 summary per person)

2 Find a partner and go survey 20 other students (not in this class) regarding average time spent on HW and GPA. Use your data to create a
scatterplot, a linear regression equation, and a residual plot. Then write a summary regarding the association between the two variables
using your graphs and equation as justification. Be sure to mention if a regression line is even appropriate for the data. (1 summary per
person)
Desserts
1 Use quizlet.com to create a 5-question quiz regarding linear regression and exchange with your partners to solve their quiz.

2 Create a Venn Diagram (https://www.canva.com/graphs/venn-diagrams/) to compare and contrast between the correlation coefficient and
coefficient of determination.
