Quick Review
A paired data set (or a bivariate data set) has
a positive association when y-values tend to
increase as x-values increase and a negative
association when y-values tend to decrease
as x-values increase. When the relationship
between the paired data can be modeled with
a linear function, a line of best fit represents
the relationship. The paired data are positively
correlated if y-values increase as x-values increase
and negatively correlated if y-values decrease as
X-values increase.
Practice & Problem Solving
Describe the type of association each scatter
plot shows.

Yama takes a course to improve his typing
speed. The scatter plot shows his progress over
six weeks. What is the relationship between the
number of weeks and Yama's typing speed?

scatter plot of the data. If the data suggest a
linear relationship, draw a trend line and write
its equation.
