We remedied computer issues allowing Joshua to gain access quickly and easily to the College Board website. We then discussed the contents of Unit 7 and its exam, which Joshua will take tomorrow.
Using textbook (Advanced High School Statistics), we discussed line fitting, residuals, and correlation. Describing linear relationships with correlation - Changing units does not affect correlation.
Selecting, Implementing, and Communicating Inference Procedures
