Domain:
8.SP.3 Use the equation of a linear model to solve problems in the context of bivariate measurement data,
interpreting the slope and intercept. (For example, in a linear model for a biology experiment, interpret a slope of
1.5 cm/hr as meaning that an additional hour of sunlight each day is associated with an additional 1.5 cm in
mature plant height.)
Statistics and Probability
