IB Questionbank Mathematical Studies 3rd Edition 1

This document contains 4 examples of scatter plots and regression lines. Each example provides instructions for plotting points, finding the line of best fit, and using the regression line to make predictions. For each part of the examples, marks are awarded based on accuracy and work shown. The highest total marks for each example is 15-17 marks depending on the number of parts.
