Interpret linear models
Build on students' work with linear relationships in eighth grade and introduce the correlation coefficient. The focus here is on the computation and interpretation of the correlation coefficient as a measure of how well the data fit the relationship. The important distinction between a statistical relationship and a cause-and-effect relationship arises in S.ID.9
S.ID.9
Distinguish between correlation and causation.
 
  • Interpreting Categorical and Quantitative Data Curriculum Guide
