Algebra 1 B: Chapter 8--Modeling Linear Data with Lines of Best-Fit and Regression
The work we do in class is loosely based on the material our book covers in chapter 8. We will go much more in-depth and have a lot more fun than your book does. We are going to throw in a couple of ideas from chapter 14. Don't worry, you'll do great!
Note: Because we are not following the section numbers in your book, I'm using an a-b-c system for day 1-day 2-day 3. When our work corresponds directly to the book, I'll go back to the traditional numbering method: 8-1, 8-2, etc.
