Chapter 7 Statistical Graphs and Calculations
4. Calculating and Graphing Paired-
Variable Statistical Data
Under “Plotting a Scatter Diagram,” we displayed a scatter diagram and then per-
formed a logarithmic regression calculation. Let’s use the same procedure to look at
the six regression functions.
k k k k k Linear Regression Graph
Linear regression plots a straight line that passes close to as many data points as
possible, and returns values for the slope and
y -intercept ( y -coordinate when x = 0)
of the line.
The graphic representation of this relationship is a linear regression graph.
